On 18th and 19th of November the East African Community Secretariat showcased the content of the 50Million African Women Speak platform to members of the project country team and business women in Nairobi. The objective of the two meetings was to get feedback from those involved, on the relevance and viability of content on the Kenyan section of the platform. The project country team which consisted of, officials of the Ministry of Gender, officers from the Ministry of Trade, officers from the Ministry of ICT and a representative from the Council of Governors office, had an opportunity to go through each of the sections on the platform. The suggestions made from their technical point of view will be incorporated in the already posted content before the National launch of the Platform. Women in business who attended the meeting on the 19th, had an opportunity to register and give feedback on the interaction they have had with the platform and what more they would like to see up on the platform. The women gave positive feedback and asked EAC Secretariat to work towards making the platform known through intensive awareness campaign. They also suggested to invest more in capacity building for women to learn how to create their accounts and be able to use the platform. “The platform will resolve the issue of lack of information for women entrepreneurs especially for women involved in cross border trade.” said the Deputy Secretary General- EAC, Hon. Christophe Basivamo.
