She encouraged women to work together to achieve this goal. “Let’s take action, get others on board and set up impact-driven businesses in this sector,” she has urged.
The national coordinator of CIC Asbl has emphasised the need for women to embark on concrete and profitable initiatives related to waste management and environmental protection. As a reminder, the conference, organised by CIC Asbl, brought together women leaders over two days to discuss the themes of sanitation, inclusive finance and women’s leadership.
