The annual Infrastructure Africa Business Forum which provides a platform for women’s development in traditionally male-dominated infrastructure sectors will hold in October.
In a statement, the Managing Director of Infrastructure Africa, Liz Hart, said the women of Africa currently represent an untapped economic force that is necessary for the continent’s socio-economic development as well the optimisation of its potential.
“In most African countries, only about a third of women participate in economic activities, however research shows that when women are actively involved, the improvement is measureable.
“In Africa, women’s economic participation encourages increased GDP, better governance within political structures and improved performance as a result of leadership within organizations,” she said.
The Infrastructure Africa 2-day conference takes place at Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg 9-10 October and will host several leading women infrastructure experts as speakers as well as participants who are active in Africa’s infrastructure sectors.
Women are invited to participate to learn, network and grow their businesses by accessing the project development opportunities on offer at this business forum.
