Empowering the Business Women of Botswana

 

WIBA’s goal is to help Botswana businesswomen get to the next stage in their development and growth….whether it’s to register an informal business, expand the range of products, manage  resources more effectively, become export-ready, or promote laws that help women operate their businesses more easily.

Specific activities towards this end include:

• Soliciting of local sponsor organizations in support of WIBA’s visions;
• Sharing best practices on a national level with members and all stakeholders;
• Organization of fundraising events at a national level;
• Facilitation and coordination of awareness campaigns in the form of fairs, exhibitions, raffles, etc
  
  To provide a platform for women in business to exchange ideas and information with each other as well as their counterparts in other countries.
  
  To form a strategic institute for the business advocacy for women, leadership, training    and business development in disseminating information to the membership and general public..

The Women in Business Association (WIBA) was formed in 1990 as a committee of BOCCIM (Botswana Confederation of Commerce, Industry & Manpower). It is an independent, non-governmental orga-nization with the objective of assisting all women in the business sector.

WIBA is now represented in the BOCCIM National Council but is treated as a separate sector representing women. The Association is also affiliated with the Botswana Business Coalition on Aids (BBCA), an organization set up to promote private sector action to fight the effects of HIV/AIDS on businesses in Botswana.
