The African Union Commission (AUC) is calling on dynamic African women entrepreneurs to take part in a transformative initiative—the African Women in Processing (AWIP) Forum—set to take place on the sidelines of the Fourth Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) in Algiers, Algeria, from 4 to 10 September 2025.

This forum presents a unique opportunity for African women actively engaged in value-added processing to showcase their businesses in Africa’s largest trade fair, which highlights the importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
