📈Unlocking AfCFTA Opportunities for Women-Led Businesses in African Markets
To strengthen the participation of Mauritian women entrepreneurs in intra-African trade, the Economic Development Board Mauritius, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, organised a two-day capacity-building workshop on 08 and 09 July. The initiative aims to equip Mauritian women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools and networks needed to access opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), foster strategic partnerships and enhance export readiness of SMEs.
The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is the world’s largest free trade area, bringing together 54 African countries into a single market. This offers a valuable platform to connect Mauritian entrepreneurs to a continental market, build new value chains and position women-led enterprises at the centre of inclusive growth.

🌊 Episode 4 of Island Voices for Nature is out now!
Mauritius depends deeply on the ocean - for food security, tourism, livelihoods, biodiversity and coastal protection. Yet marine ecosystems are increasingly under pressure from climate change, coral bleaching, pollution and unsustainable human activity.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Daniel Marie, Director of the Mauritius Oceanography Institute, about the importance of marine scientific research in safeguarding our ocean resources. From coral reef conservation and sustainable fisheries to climate monitoring and blue economy development, the conversation explores both the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Mauritius' marine environment.
