A platform dedicated to empowering women across the
continent and advancing gender equality in trade and commerce.

WOMEN in TRADE Africa

Women In Trade (WITA) is a Dynamic Platform


consisting of African women from various sectors and countries. We are currently represented in eleven countries in Africa, with a target of reaching twenty countries by the end of 2024.

Our primary mandate is to provide support to women-owned businesses, enabling them to actively participate in larger markets and operate in line with global governance standards.

Our Objective is


to be the link between African women and their respective countries, facilitate exchange and access to different markets, exchange experiences, and empower women in the area of ​​Entrepreneurship so that they are financially independent and ultimately contribute to increasing the number of African women in business. We hope this will allow our members to explore the potential of each market and different opportunities that encourage investors to support women in innovation and technology.

We hope to inspire and create young leaders who can continue our legacy.

Strengthen our ties as African women because we believe that unity is power and strength; together, we can achieve and accomplish great things.
