WHAT OPPORTUNITIES EXISTS IN THAT INDUSTRY SEGMENT FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS The skills training and development sector holds the power to change South Africa s economic trajectory by promoting the inclusion of all demographic groups. Growing skills equates to growing small businesses, through public private development partnerships.

WHAT VALUE DO PROVIDE TO WOMEN IN ENERGY AND POWER? Research increasingly demonstrates the benefits of integrating gender considerations into the energy value chain and through the power sector. When the barriers that prevent women from having equal access to energy and economic opportunities are removed, , significant productivity gains are unlocked, thereby strengthening development and economic outcomes. Furthermore, women are transforming the energy sector in their roles as energy entrepreneurs, innovators and decision makers. And when you empower a woman, you empower a family, a community, and indeed a nation. Cherie Blair
