She said women entrepreneurs needed access to local markets and opportunities by multinationals, and other large corporations in the country, urging larger corporations to consider women as key stakeholders in their procurement activities.

Mrs Yankey-Ayeh said the SheTrades in the Commonwealth project was intended to help build capacity of small women-owned business areas such as increasing the product quality, adherence to contract terms and international standards among others.

She said the NBSSI was of the belief that the project would help in achieving the mutual goals of increasing the participation of women-owned businesses in international trade.

The initiative would help to understand the opportunities, approach, and value proposition available for women-owned businesses and assist the entrepreneurs in acquiring some knowledge of how to integrate a gender lens into their businesses.

Mrs Yankey-Ayeh said as part of the project, all the barriers and challenges preventing women-owned businesses from accessing and fully participating in local and global value chains would be reduced since participants would be equipped with new guides, tools and techniques for overcoming those barriers.
