On October 6 – 9, 2012,
the leadership of UNIDO Regional Office in Abuja-Nigeria in partnership with
IFAD, UNWoman, FAO, UNDP, Songhai Centre & OXFAM organised a four day
workshop in Port Novo tagged ‘Youth & Women As Catalysts For
Agribusiness Development And Growth in West & Central Africa’.
The event started with
a trade fair showcasing agribusiness produces and processing machineries and
culminated in a consultative forum which explored strategies for attracting
more women and youth in agribusiness - as a credible job and wealth creation
option for the sub region.
