AUTHOR(S): Mouhamadou M. Hoyeck
The Women’s Empowerment Lab (WEL) was an opportunity for women entrepreneurs in Ghana and the diaspora to gain insights into the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). This paper reports on the WEL, which aimed to increase awareness among women entrepreneurs about AfCFTA and AGOA and provide insights on the U.S. government and the Government of Ghana's tools to support them.
