Introduction

Women play a vital role in sustainable development.

The empowerment of a woman is the empowerment of a household, a community, and the nation at large.

Our goal is to equip women with the basic skills that can enhance their competitiveness in the procurement space, expand their economic horizons, and ultimately improve social and economic conditions of their households.

Conclusion

Advocacy for Women inclusion and gender equality is not about women supremacy. It is simply profiling the social and economic implications of women exclusion in processes such as public procurement.
