Empowering Women: Leadership, Equality & Progress

Women are at the heart of development, yet their full potential remains untapped. In Gabon,
women make up nearly 50% of the population, but they are underrepresented in decision-making
roles and face financial barriers. Despite advancements, many women struggle to access capital,
business opportunities, and leadership positions, limiting their ability to drive economic and social
transformation.
Across Africa, women play a crucial role in agriculture, entrepreneurship, and community
development, yet a large portion of their economic activity remains in the informal sector, affecting
their financial security and long-term stability. Unlocking greater opportunities, leadership roles,
and economic inclusion for women is not just a matter of equality—it’s essential for national
progress.
This dialogue will focus on expanding opportunities for women in Gabon by addressing key areas
such as education, career growth, entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion.
How can we create an environment where women thrive as leaders, business owners, innovators,
and changemakers? What policies and initiatives are needed to ensure equal access to
opportunities in all sectors?
