SVG’s female entrepreneurs encouraged to take advantage of digital economy

Female entrepreneurs are being encouraged to take advantage of the digital economy as the world changes.
This advice came from Manager of the OAS Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Caribbean Miss Lizra Fabien, who was at the time addressing the opening of a one-day Digital Economy Seminar organized by the Centre for Enterprise Development Inc. (CED).
According to Miss Fabien, the project has been focusing heavily on ensuring that women entrepreneurs across the Eastern Caribbean are equipped to take advantage of the opportunities that are available in the digital economy, with other initiatives coming on stream soon.
She said the OAS WEE Project continues to support women through various initiatives to connect them with the diaspora and is helping them to get on to Amazon and the different ecommerce platforms. She also noted that in other parts of the world people are taking advantage of the opportunities that are available in the digital economy, and thus by taking part in the training on the Digital Economy the participants have began to position themselves and their businesses to do so as well.
