Breaking barriers, building economies: women in economic policy

South Africa's Women's Day is 9 August. It is a time to honour women's extraordinary courage and resilience in the struggle for equality and freedom. During this month, South Africa celebrates the remarkable contributions of women across various facets of life. However, it's also a poignant reminder of the persistent challenges. Despite progress, women must still be represented in the country's crucial economic and economic policy roles. This disparity hampers inclusive decision-making, emphasizing the need to break barriers and empower women to shape our economic future.

The "Breaking Barriers, Building Economies: Women in Economic Policy" campaign by SA-TIED seeks to celebrate the accomplishments of women within the SA-TIED programme.
