The government is committed to reaching its target to set aside 30% of the value of its procurement for women-owned businesses, and to progressively increase that to 40%,” Ramaphosa said at the time. Adamou Labara, IFC country manager for SA, said female entrepreneurs are changing the landscape of the global economy, creating sustainable jobs and economic growth. “When we help unlock financing for women-owned businesses we support an important engine of job creation in SA.”
