Botswana Showcases Women in Business Leadership at G20 “Women to Africa” Event. Botswana has joined the global stage at the G20 Women to Africa event, hosted by the Department of Women, Youth, and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD) in South Africa in collaboration with Standard Bank Group. The gathering forms part of the G20 Empowerment of Women Working Group (EWWG), which focuses on unlocking the potential of women as a driving force for Africa’s economic transformation.

Representing Botswana at this high-level platform is Ms. Mpho Mosate, Executive Head of Safety and Sustainability at Debswana. She will contribute to discussions under the theme “Collaborative Ecosystems for Successful and Resilient Women-Owned Businesses.” Her participation underscores Botswana’s commitment to championing women entrepreneurs and supporting inclusive economic growth.

The event highlights how women across the continent are shaping industries, driving innovation, and strengthening economies. For Botswana’s entrepreneurs, the discussions provide valuable insights into building stronger networks, fostering resilience, and leveraging partnerships that enable women-owned businesses to thrive in competitive markets.

Women-owned enterprises in Botswana continue to play an important role in sectors ranging from retail and agriculture to mining services and technology. The “Women to Africa” event brings attention to the need for policies, access to finance, and collaborative frameworks that support these businesses to scale and compete globally.

With leaders, policymakers, and private sector representatives engaging in dialogue, the event is expected to generate strategies that can be applied across the region, including Botswana. Entrepreneurs and business leaders are encouraged to follow the proceedings, available on the official YouTube link, to gain first-hand insights into the opportunities being shaped for women in business.
