Designed as a faith-driven, inclusive ecosystem, the platform aims to empower women professionals, artisans, and entrepreneurs by providing the tools, networks, and resources they need to thrive. The initiative was developed in response to the systemic challenges African women often face—ranging from limited access to capital and markets to gaps in legal and regulatory knowledge. By addressing these barriers, it is positioning itself as a catalytic force in Africa's entrepreneurial landscape. This new platform integrates technology, community support, and Christian values to support women through a Christocentric business model, a collaborative marketplace, access to legal, health, and compliance resources, educational and business development programs, networking with industry leaders, and tailored business growth tools.

"We're creating a movement where women don't just survive, they thrive. This is more than a platform; it's a sisterhood of unstoppable women rising together," she said. Through collaborations with financial institutions, legal and compliance bodies, health professionals, and educational organizations, the platform offers women a comprehensive suite of support to grow sustainable businesses. These partnerships are essential in advancing the goals of financial inclusion and economic participation for women-led SMEs. With African women contributing significantly to the informal and formal sectors, this launch is timely. The platform strengthens efforts toward gender equity, economic resilience, and community-led growth by placing women at the center of development.

This intent was expressed during a courtesy visit by the Tanzanian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Selestine Gervas Kakele, to Nigeria's Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, in Abuja. Tanzania also announced its full support for Nigeria's bid to secure a seat in Category C of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Council, citing strong bilateral ties and Nigeria's leadership in regional maritime policy as key factors. SMEs Poised to Benefit from Cross-Border Maritime Partnerships With plans to send a team of Tanzanian maritime experts to Nigeria for peer learning, both countries are laying the groundwork for technical exchange, business matchmaking, and knowledge sharing—areas where Nigerian maritime SMEs, logistics firms, marine service providers, and training institutions can directly engage. Minister Oyetola emphasized Nigeria's readiness to support the visiting delegation and highlighted the Federal Ministry's broader vision to deepen intra-African maritime trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). This includes building public-private partnerships to strengthen local shipping, port services, and supply chains—all sectors where SMEs play a pivotal role.

He also encouraged Nigerian SMEs and investors to explore emerging opportunities in Tanzania's growing maritime and port infrastructure landscape. In turn, Tanzania invited Nigerian businesses—particularly in logistics, fisheries, and marine tech—to consider the vast, untapped opportunities along the East African coastline. Key Takeaway for SMEs This diplomatic move signals expanding space for African SME collaboration in the marine economy, with Nigeria poised to serve as both a mentor and partner. As the continent's blue economy gains global relevance, small businesses can tap into upcoming bilateral frameworks, joint ventures, and technical assistance programs to scale operations and drive inclusive maritime growth.
