With support from CISANET, Purple Innovation trained 40 women entrepreneurs in contracting and bidding to enhance women-led enterprises in Northern Malawi. The impact includes; increase in participation of women from Northern Malawi in public procurement by about 30 %. In addition, more women have now registered their businesses including a women’s agriculture cooperative. Through a radio panel discussion organized by Purple Innovation, the Programme also reached over 1000 people with awareness messages on open contracting and transparency in bidding across Malawi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXkrwL6VWNg&feature=youtu.be
