THE AMCHAM POST - April 20 2023
ANTANANARIVO – The American Chamber of Commerce in Madagascar (AmCham) and the U.S. Embassy are partnering to empower the women business leaders of Madagascar.
As part of the U.S. government-sponsored POWER initiative (Providing Opportunities for Women’s Economic Rise), AmCham and the Embassy hosted the first of three intensive trainings for Malagasy business leaders in Antananarivo, April 11-13. The training brought together more than 70 women business leaders from Madagascar’s agribusiness sector in the Analamanga region.
The program helps women business leaders access the U.S. market by offering information and skill development to address U.S. market requirements. The training focused on U.S. market exploration, requirements for the exportation of food items, the best business practices, access to funding, and AGOA and GSP awareness.
The POWER initiative, a program supported by the U.S. Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs, promotes projects that connect the U.S. private sector with women entrepreneurs and business leaders around the world. Programs support women’s economic participation, better the financial position of women worldwide, and promote trade and economic relations between the United States and partner nations.
