In this inaugural episode of the AECF Podcast, Susan Situma, Director of Programs at AECF, joins us for a conversation on why investing in women is not only a matter of inclusion but a catalyst for economic growth, resilience, and sustainable development.

The discussion explores the links among agency, income, dignity, and economic participation, while highlighting how stronger livelihood ecosystems, supportive policies, and private-sector partnerships can unlock opportunities for women entrepreneurs across Africa.
