Abstract

This study examines The Gendered Impact of AfCFTA on Women-Led SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector: A Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria in the context of Nigeria, addressing key challenges and opportunities from an African perspective.

Introduction

Evidence on The Gendered Impact of AfCFTA on Women-Led SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector: A Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria in Nigeria consistently highlights how offers evidence relevant to The Gendered Impact of AfCFTA on Women-Led SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector: A Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria. A study by Journal system (2023) investigated Full Issue in Nigeria, using a documented research design. The study reported that offers evidence relevant to The Gendered Impact of AfCFTA on Women-Led SMEs in the Manufacturing Sector: A Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria. These findings underscore the importance of the gendered impact of afcfta on women-led smes in the manufacturing sector: a comparative study of ghana and nigeria for Nigeria, yet the study does not fully resolve the contextual mechanisms at play. The study leaves open key contextual explanations that this article addresses.
