United Nations or UN Women Economic Security & Rights Program Specialist on Wednesday told journalists in Juba that women need more capital empowerment because they have ‘the bigger responsibility of taking care of the household’.
Lansana Wonneh said the more women are empowered financially the healthier and bigger the economy of a country because in many societies they cater for food, health and education.
The Specialist observes that adequate entrepreneurship skills and specialized business knowledge including leasing principles are crucial for women entrepreneurs in South Sudan.
International Finance Corporation or IFC World Bank expert Jonathan Gigin is training South Sudan women entrepreneurs with leasing skills.
The officials made the statements in the first session of leasing training emphasizing asset or equipment financing and economic use rather than ownership.
