International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated globally every year on March 8 to recognise women’s achievements and advocate for gender equity. For Propcom+, this occasion presents a strategic opportunity to highlight our commitment to breaking gender barriers, promoting inclusive market systems, amplifying the voices of women entrepreneurs and professionals, and fostering meaningful connections that drive long-term, transformational change in Nigeria. The theme for IWD 2026 is “Give to Gain”, which calls for individuals, organisations, and communities to collectively contribute resources, knowledge, and support to foster gender equality, knowing that when women thrive, everyone rises.

Propcom+ is bringing stakeholders together for a dialogue themed “Women, Agency and the Power of Giving for Gender Transformation.” This dialogue will bring together women agribusiness leaders, government agencies, and professionals to share experiences, lessons, and success stories in driving gender-transformational change in Nigeria’s agricultural markets and beyond. It will highlight inspiring achievements of women supported by Propcom+ and celebrate those advancing gender equality across communities and markets.
