Ms Eunice Lipinge, the President of Pan African Women\u2019s Organisation, said \u201cwhile celebrating the milestones of the last decade, let us continue to be cognizant of the challenges that are outlined in the report, as we implement the African Women\u2019s Decade on Financial and Economic Inclusion (2020 \u2013 2030).\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its establishment in 1962 in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, PAWO\u2019s mission has been to ensure that women\u2019s concerns are integrated into Africa\u2019s liberation agenda and that women participate, equally, fully, and effectively, in the political, economic, social, and cultural life of the continent.<\/p>\n
