Description

In this episode of The Weekly Tradecast, we talk to two “eTrade for Women advocates” helping to bridge the gender and digital divide. 
Birame Sock from Senegal and Damilola Olokesusi from Nigeria tell us about the massive opportunities for women in Africa’s emerging technology sector. 
But the stigma persists that tech is a "male industry", leaving women under-represented and often excluded.  
How can Africa better support women to set up viable tech businesses that create decent jobs and economic growth? Tune in to this episode to find out.
