Workshop on Increasing Trade Potential for Women Entrepreneurs
TSCFP and ICC Bangladesh collaborate for a Workshop for Women Entrepreneurs in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP), in recognizing the importance of supporting women-owned businesses, has collaborated with ICC to promote women led business in trade. The promotion of women in trade is crucial for achieving inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The most recent workshop was held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on May 9, for over 100 women entrepreneurs. These workshops aim to provide a platform for women to network, share experiences, and learn about trade finance and supply chain management. By promoting women in trade, we can unlock their potential and create opportunities for them to contribute to the economic development of their communities and countries.
As part of its Gender initiative for effective gender mainstreaming to address gender inequities in Asia Pacific and in trade in particular, TSCFP is partnering with the International Chamber of Commerce Bangladesh to promote a training and networking event for women in business. This event will focus on the practical application of ICC’s trade facilitation rules for trade finance which underpin international trade and finance.
The Workshop on Increasing Trade Potential for Women Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh is happening on 9 May 2023 at The Westin Dhaka. The ADB has engaged subject matter experts to speak on relevant topics, share best practices and tips, and facilitate interactive sessions during the workshop.
