Mrs Phidelia Mwaba, CEO of Hokma Risk Management and immediate Past President of CILT Zambia will discuss the importance of the electric car and the electric bike for women in rural areas. Her presentation will analyse transport challenges for rural women in general and for the women of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region in particular.
Although Phidelia describes the electric car as a genius innovation that is kind to the environment, she will argue that in addition to a prohibitive procurement price, limitations in road and transport infrastructure in some regions make the electric car impractical. Instead, Phidelia believes that the electric bike will offer sustainable transport solutions to women and road users in these regions, and she will demonstrate why in Wroclaw this June.
Phidelia has worked in Insurance for over 25 years, during which time she has held various leadership positions in entities including the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Zambia where she was the first female President. She is the founder of WiLAT Zambia, and has vast experience on various boards as a Director and Vice Chairperson or Committee Chairperson, both in the private and public sectors. She is currently Managing Consultant and CEO at Hokma Risk Management Consultants where she directs consultancies and knowledge-transfer seminars on portfolios of risk management, smart fleet management, corporate strategy, transportation insurances, transport and logistics management systems, and corporate governance.
Booking is now open for CILT International Convention 2018 in Wroclaw, Poland. Taking place between the 3rd and 6th of June, the convention will explore the themes of Linking CEE to the World, and The Electric Car Revolution and its Impact on Logistics.
