Gabon is the 6th best performing country in Africa in the ICT sector and the 1st in the sub-region.
The digital sector is an important growth lever for the Gabonese economy (5% of GDP).
In 2020, with the support of UNESCO, the Ministry of Health, Social Welfare and National Solidarity launched the Gabonese Women’s Decade, the objective being the empowerment of women.
JFD analysed the challenges, progress and areas for improvement on the issue of gender equality in digital entrepreneurship in Gabon.
The situation is positive for women, but there are still obstacles to overcome in terms of training and financing.
« JFD Gabon is a place of innovation, a space for exchange and emulation, a powerful network that we want pan-African and pan-European. We can no longer deprive ourselves of half of the talents. We must act from early age to give birth to vocations. It is a question of equality but above all, of competitiveness. I invite all actors to mobilize in supporting and strengthening this community of women who are changing the world! »
