Women In Africa has been selected by the African Development Bank and the AFAWA programme to support entrepreneurship support structures in Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal and Madagascar!

The African Development Bank initiative Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa, known as AFAWA,  is a pan-African initiative to bridge the $42 billion financing gap facing women in Africa.

In this context, Women In Africa is commissioned by the African Development Bank to develop the “No Gap” programme which aims to:

to present a mapping of the support and financing structures for women entrepreneurship in Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal and Madagascar

support organizations supporting women entrepreneurs in these 4 countries to strengthen their capacities and facilitate their access to financing

develop partnerships with funding institutions to enable women entrepreneurs in the selected countries to access more funding

The programme started in 2023 in the target countries where the structures will benefit from 9 months of training and support. In 2024, the structures will begin the training of 4,400 beneficiary entrepreneurs after which a Digital Road Show will be organized in partnership with funding institutes in Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal and Madagascar. Women entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to receive funding.

“No Gap” will provide long-term support solutions for women’s entrepreneurship support organizations, support and build capacity and expand access to financing for thousands of women entrepreneurs in target countries.
