Female Entrepreneurs in Africa: Empowering Women to make change happen
Date: 19 May 2022, 19:30 (CET)
Hamburg
Governments and economies around the world are facing enormous challenges. As diverse as the current hurdles may be, they have one thing in common globally: there must be fundamental change that is reflected in politics, culture, economics and society. While climate change is forcing us to put sustainability at the center of our economies, we will only succeed in changing our world for the better if we promote women as leaders and an equal part of our society.
In many parts of Africa, women still do not play an equal role in society, culture, business and politics. For development, education and equal opportunities to be effectively implemented, long-overdue decisions must be made and women in Africa must be given special support. Full equality must be prioritized as an integral part of politics and the economy, and ultimately enshrined in law. There is a long way to go. We discuss the hurdles and potentials on the way to women‘s empowerment in Africa with five experts.

Africa Finance Forum | Disruptions in Global Agribusiness Supply Chains: Impact in Africa and Need for Collaborative Action
Date: 20 April 2022, 15:30-17:00 EDT
Washington DC, USA
African countries, which continue to be impacted by the COVID pandemic, are now faced with another economic shock from the war in Ukraine. Increases in global commodity prices, and especially oil which rose above decade-long highs of more than $100 a barrel shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, are inflicting heavy costs to many African governments, their agricultural sectors, farmers, and vulnerable food-dependent citizens.
The conflict in Ukraine is severely impacting food security globally, and especially in many African countries that rely on key agricultural imports. Russia and Ukraine are among the top exporters of wheat (almost one-quarter of global wheat exports) as well as barley, sunflowers, and maize while Russia is a key producer of fertilizer. But war-induced disruptions in the agricultural sector in Ukraine and heavy economic sanctions on Russia are raising the price of wheat, fertilizer, and other agricultural products.
