The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is a Regional
Economic Community comprising of 21 African states’ which have agreed to promote
regional integration through trade development and transport facilitation as well as
development of their natural and human resources for the mutual benefit of all their
people. Its vision is to be a fully integrated economic community that is prosperous,
internationally competitive, and ready to merge into the African Economic Community.
In order to realize its vision and objectives, COMESA has also established several
semi-autonomous institutions based in different Member States to support integration
agenda. One of such semi-autonomous institutions is The COMESA Federation of
Women in Business (COMFWB) which is based in Lilongwe, Malawi. More information
can be obtained from the COMFWB website www.comfwb.org and the COMESA
website www.comesa.int
COMFWB was established by COMESA in recognition of the fact that regional
economic integration cannot be achieved if women in economic enterprise were left out.
COMESA mandated COMFWB to champion the improvement of the economic
conditions of women to achieve their full and equal participation in their national
economies.
COMFWB’s distinct niche is to play a facilitative, coordinative, and catalytic role thus
creating an enabling environment for women’s enterprises to thrive within COMESA and
beyond. In this respect, it acts as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences
among women in economic enterprises. COMFWB promotes the expansion of existing
enterprises through measures that address their needs for technical assistance and
training, access to credit, export promotion market research and investment
opportunities.
In order to actualize the set-out development objectives, the COMFWB will recruit a
