More about Absa Bank Kenya PLC and ITC (International Trade Center) partnership

Absa Bank Kenya PLC and International Trade Center (ITC) have had a partnership since 2016 to advance their shared goal of increasing the international competitiveness of women-led businesses and women entrepreneurs from Kenya. The partnership also supports these women to connect and export to new markets through the ITC Women and Trade Programme.

Absa Bank Kenya has been the She Trades Hub in Kenya since last year. The SheTrades Kenya Hub aims to advance the economic and financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs. The Hub is committed to accelerate growth opportunities for Kenyan women entrepreneurs by improving their competitiveness, providing tailored financial instruments and strengthening their support ecosystem. The Hub is aligned with the Absa Bank’s Women in Business Proposition.
