On 17 January 2024 we hosted our first major conference: "Breaking barriers, building dreams: Women’s contributions to Zambia’s build industry".
In 2021 the construction sector in Zambia employed 166,331 people; of which 96.6% were male and only 3.4% were female [Central Statistical Office (2021) Zambia Labour Force Survey 2021].
The conference brought partners together to explore the challenges that women face in the sector, as well as the opportunities to increase their participation paving the way for a more empowered and inclusive workforce.
We were honoured to be joined by esteemed guests Ms. Bronagh Carr, Ambassador of the Republic of Ireland to Zambia and Mr Anthony Domingo, Director for Social Security under the Ministry of Labour and Social Security Zambia.
Key recommendations and action points from the conference will be shared shortly. We hope that this conference will continue to spark dialogue and collaboration amongst partners to create a more diverse construction sector in Zambia.
