Africa’s swelling debt casts a long shadow over economic growth and development. Join us for this keynote session with Alain Nkontchou as he delves into the complexities of Africa’s debt, and explores how national debt influences economic policies, financial stability, and ultimately, the opportunities available to women. The session aims to shed light on the challenges and opportunities that arise from debt dynamics, and how they intersect with the broader goal of fostering financial inclusion for African women. We will highlight innovative strategies for accelerating the growth of African women-led businesses, fostering a more gender-inclusive financial ecosystem, and driving economic empowerment for women across the continent.
