'We need to rethink the narrative of advocacy. Woman should have more access to land, to investments, finance, and inputs to attain Agenda 2063'. Were the words echoes by Ambassador Josefa Sacko, African Union Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment during the commemorative webinar on International Women’s Day. The event titled: “Celebrating women’s leadership in food systems: a conversation on how to promote women’s leadership in food systems transformation in Africa” was hosted by African Union, FAO, African Women Agribusiness Network (AWAN), and Lady Agri Impact Investment Hub.
