As such, business operations have been grounded, placing significant strain on the business community and the economy. The loss of a source of income is one of the unfortunate impacts of the virus, as the coronavirus outbreak will affect commercial and business activities for months to come.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">During this critical period, award-winning author, Stephanie Obi is intensifying efforts to empower women across Africa. Using her experience as the pioneer of one of Africa’s leading online learning platforms, TrainQuarters, Stephanie in collaboration with Shecluded, created the “Knowledge is the New Gold” challenge.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://refinedng.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Knowledge-is-the-new-Gold.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2703" srcset="https://refinedng.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Knowledge-is-the-new-Gold.jpg 600w, https://refinedng.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Knowledge-is-the-new-Gold-585x390.jpg 585w, https://refinedng.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Knowledge-is-the-new-Gold-263x175.jpg 263w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Named after her bestselling book with the same title, Knowledge is the New Gold challenge aims to teach people how to turn their knowledge into profitable courses online.
