THE AFRICA TIMES | AFRICA — Chibuzo Nwagboso: Finance Alone Cannot Unlock Young Women’s Potential in Africa’s Agrifood Systems
Financial access alone is unlikely to bridge the economic opportunity gap young women face in Africa’s agrifood systems. This gap requires a multifaceted approach that addresses mobility, asset ownership, and social norms, as emphasized by Chibuzo Nwagboso of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
Nwagboso shared insights during the Africa Food Systems (AFS) Forum 2026 in Kigali. Her discussion followed a session focused on women-centric and inclusive food systems.
