Among the distinguished leaders present is the Principal Secretary Susan Auma Mang\u2019eni of the State Department of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, alongside the Deputy Government Spokesperson, Mwanaisha Chidzuga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her compelling address to the MYWO Board members, the Principal Secretary emphatically called upon the board to harness its expansive grassroots network as a powerful catalyst for economic empowerment and inclusive development. She underscored the critical role of women at the community level as agents of growth and resilience, urging the board to amplify their impact by championing opportunities that unlock women\u2019s potential across all sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS Mang\u2019eni\u2019s message resonated deeply, emphasizing that empowering women entrepreneurs is not merely a policy objective but a national imperative for sustainable economic transformation.
