SheTrades Zambia

Summary

The objective of the SheTrades Zambia project is to increase the participation of Zambian women-owned businesses in trade, by increasing their competitiveness and enabling their inclusion in the agricultural and textiles and garments value chains. 

SheTrades Zambia will advocate for a conducive business environment for women entrepreneurs, give women entrepreneurs access to the skills and support systems required to run successful businesses, and connect women-owned enterprises to local, regional, and international markets. The initiative will be implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Commerce and Industry, and the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) as well as making use of networks of institutional and private sector partners such as the Zambia Federation of Associations of Women in Business (ZFAWIB) and Stanbic Bank.
