Framework for Women (Policy Framework).pdf

Summary

The document outlines essential strategic goals such as entrepreneurial development, skills acquisition, and increased ownership within the property industry. Grounded in the South African Constitution and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, the framework provides a structured roadmap for monitoring progress and fostering partnerships.
