Jumia
Nigeria has held a stakeholder consultation with the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) focused on expanding access to e-commerce and strengthening
inclusive participation in Africa’s digital economy.
The
engagement took place last month when Jumia Nigeria Chief Executive Officer,
Temidayo Ojo, received a UNDP delegation for discussions on Africa’s E-commerce
Inclusivity Study.
According
to the company, the conversation centred on improving access to digital
commerce platforms, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, and creating
opportunities for broader participation in the continent’s growing digital
economy.
Jumia
noted that such partnerships are critical to advancing inclusive digital growth
and ensuring that more businesses benefit from the expansion of online trade
across Africa.
The
engagement comes as the company marks its 14th anniversary, with leadership
emphasizing the importance of continued collaboration with development partners
and stakeholders in shaping the future of e-commerce on the continent.
