The women entrepreneurs were introduced to the new TOAM website and the mobile application, where they were acquainted on the benefits of the platform to report obstacles while exporting and importing.

Also, the MCCI made presentations on other business facilitation tools, namely on Free Trade Agreements where the women entrepreneurs were apprised of the different trade agreements and the export opportunities that arise from these agreements and were then followed by presentations on Chambers Trust and the GS1 Barcoding.

The objective of the workshop was to ensure that women succeed in trade, enlighten them on the different trade tools that can provide a conducive business environment for women and help them overcome de facto barriers to trade.
