This is an article written Mariéme Jamme, a Senegalese businesswoman based in London, who has launched numerous ventures to support development, which include Africa Gathering, an organization that brings entrepreneurs together to create positive change in Africa. In this piece, Ms. Jamme calls for women to have greater access to entrepreneurial opportunities and says that internal policies have to be changed to allow for greater advancement. Without such changes, she argues, that economic prosperity and stability will not be achieved. She also comments that foreign aid received has not done enough to close the gender and that more needs to be done.
