Improve the Numbers in Africa
"According to a market research company that tracks gender diversity, it stated that around 3.2% of fintech firms in Africa are founded solely by women, doubling the global average of 1.6%. Also according to indexable 2021 data, it stated that Africa’s Fintech has more female board members compared with other regions." Ojukwu Emmanuel writes in Tekedia on a nice piece which highlighted the women tech leaders in Okra, Lami, CrowdyVets, etc
Let us keep moving the numbers. Yes, the numbers have to move. 3.2% must not be celebrated in any way.
