The Experiences and Challenges of Women in the SADC Region the Case of Trade and Agriculture Sectors

SADC region. Across the world, evidence suggests that trade is an engine of growth (US Government Fact Sheet 2008). Agriculture on the other hand remains central to poverty reduction in the region. It provides a livelihood, including subsistence, employment and income particularly for the majority of the people living in rural areas. According to the SADC Statistical Year Book (2015), both trade and agriculture contributed approximately 20 percent of the regions’ Gross Domestic Product in that same year.
