Introduction

In 2001 an article on a World Bank Institute study asked, 'Can Africa claim the 21st Century?'.  The author, Alan Gelb, confirmed the enormous unexploited potential and hidden economic growth reserves in its people, especially women,"

The African Continent is offering enormous economic resources that need to be accessed by all Africans, including women. However, the reality on the ground has proven that Africans in general, and women of Africa in particular have not yet been given the opportunity to have access to these opportunities.
Leading Businesswomen of Africa will ensure women’s equal access to economic resources and information, including trade and markets information and Science and technology.

Furthermore, the exchange of creative ideas and strengthening of the growth of businesses owned by women will therefore impact on the economic development process on the continent.
