Women entrepreneurship is on the rise in Africa, with more women starting and running businesses than ever before. Yet, they face significant challenges, including limited access to finance, markets, and training, as well as social and cultural barriers. In this episode, we unpack these issues with Somachi Chris-Asoluka, CEO of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, a major supporter of women entrepreneurship in Africa. Our host is Dr Olajumoke (Jumo) Ayandele, a postdoctoral Research Fellow at New York University Centre for the study of Africa and the African Diaspora.
