Capacity Building in Blantyre: Equipping Women for Public Procurement Processes
The National Association of Business Women (NABW), one of the grantees under the Women and Girls Fund implementing in Malawi, conducted a Capacity Building Training on Public Procurement Processes, Tendering Procedures and Compliance Requirements in partnership with the Malawi Council for Disability Affairs (MACODA) and the Federation of Disability Organisations in Malawi (FEDOMA).
The training was being held at MACODA’s Head Office in Blantyre with support from the Women and Girls Fund, financed by the Scottish Government.

The initiative brought together women entrepreneurs with disabilities and businesswomen under FEDOMA and MACODA to strengthen their understanding of public procurement systems and enhance their participation in government business opportunities.
Through this training, participants gained practical knowledge on supplier registration, tendering procedures and compliance requirements.
