The East Africa Community’s conference of women in business was launched at the KICC in Nairobi on Thursday.

The event brought together women from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya to share their experiences about doing business in their countries.

It was also a forum for them to network with their sisters from across the region.

The main speakers were East Africa Community secretary general Amb Richard Sezibera, East Africa Community, Trade and Tourism cabinet secretary Phyllis Kandie and National Assembly deputy speaker Joyce Laboso.

Also in attendance were the East Africa women in business chair Dorothy Tuma, KNCCI women in business chair Martha Mugambi and UNDP inclusive business adviser Minaj Nieminen.
