Being a cross-border trader in Africa is tough enough, and all the more challenging when you're a woman. Burdened with administrative and gender-related abuses at the borders, not only are these women's basic rights and personal safety endangered, but their entrepreneurial potential and contribution to Africa's economic development are also hindered.
Join trade facilitation experts Lily Sommer and Edwin Gaarder with trade and gender expert Faith Tigere Pittet as they take a closer look at the role of women in African cross-border trade -- with all the risks, challenges, and opportunities that come with it.
Also hear this episode's Border Voice from Elizabeth, a trader crossing the Chirundu border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Informal Exchanges brings you stories of movement, resilience, and innovation at the African borders, all wrapped in an informal exchange.
