Women in Management Africa (WIMAFRICA) is hosting a conference in Lagos aimed at boosting the economic power of African women by improving their access to finance.
The event, held in Nigeria’s commercial capital, brings together business leaders, policymakers and women entrepreneurs to discuss strategies for overcoming financial barriers that limit women’s participation in the economy.
WIMAFRICA’s focus on finance reflects a growing recognition that capital is a key driver of women’s economic empowerment across the continent. By providing a platform for dialogue and networking, the conference seeks to create tangible pathways for women to secure funding and investment.
Participants will examine policy frameworks, investment opportunities and innovative financing models that can support women-led businesses. The conference is part of WIMAFRICA’s broader mission to promote gender equality and inclusive growth in African markets.
As the conference unfolds, stakeholders will outline actionable steps to strengthen financial inclusion for women, ensuring that the benefits of economic development reach a broader segment of the population.
