ImpactHer: Global Africa Women's Sustainability Conference Wraps Up in Abuja

Recently at the Global Africa Women's Sustainability Conference hosted by ImpactHER and African Union (April 29-May 1), an important message resonated: The green economy (sustainably produced goods), a sector worth $3 trillion today and projected to reach $5-6 trillion soon, is an area African women must be strategically positioned to benefit from. 

Despite their significant and central role in Green economies, they earn marginally from it and remain at the fringes due to barriers to compete in major markets where the key players are. 

The conference focused on strategies to bridge these gaps through discussions on finance, trade, contracts, and packaging. It called for African women to be in the forefront of the green economy, in line with the 'Africa we want' under AU's Agenda 2063. 

Attending were women entrepreneurs, diplomats and heads of ministries from 50 countries including Nigeria.
