This it did in conjunction with the International Finance Corporation (IFC, a member of the World Bank Group). This year, the program is being extended to 8 other African countries where Access Bank\u2019s W initiative has its presence. These countries are Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Zambia, Sierra-Leone, Gambia, Kenya, Mozambique and Congo hence the tag name \u201cWomenpreneur Pitch-A-Ton Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
