Her Honour, Inonge Wina, the first female Vice President of Zambia, unveiled an initiative to support women entrepreneurs in Zambia. In her talk, Mrs Wina spoke about how, together with NGOs and the private sector, the Government of President Edgar Lungu will deliver a programme to provide healthy hygienic and integrated trading conditions for the one million women ‘street marketeers’ in Zambia.
The Vice President was introduced by The Rt. Hon. Baroness Chalker PC, a former FCO Minister for Overseas Development in both Margaret Thatcher and John Major’s government, and now Chairman of Africa Matters Limited. Introductory remarks by Sian Hansen, Executive Director of the Legatum Institute
Bo Inonge, the truth is that there is a fundamental problem with successive regimes in the way they handle these so called women empowerment programs. why do you want them to form clubs when you know that this is a failed approach – ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? the best way is empower them individually.
Inonge was supposed to be president, Guy Scott vice president and Edgar Lungu remain as minister of Justice.
Why???
