Women in Africa have long been the backbone of commerce across the continent – this is not an exaggeration, approximately 26% of global adult women engaged in entrepreneurial ventures reside in Sub-Saharan Africa. Historically, African women have been traders, artisans, and economic powerhouses within their communities, creating and sustaining businesses that drive local and national economies forward. Their entrepreneurial spirit is deeply ingrained, passed down through generations, and adapted to fit modern economic landscapes.
