Abstract: This study analysed the effect of women inclusion on export trade integration in COMESA’s 17 Member States between 2000 and 2022. The study employed the Pseudo Poisson Maximum Likelihood estimator (PPML) on panel data from COMESA’s 17 Member States. The study findings showed that women inclusion affects export trade integration differently in COMESA based on the variable of interest. Women’s political and economic inclusion dampen export trade integration in COMESA. On the other hand, the study findings showed that women’s social inclusion boosts export trade integration in COMESA. From the findings, the study recommends improving women’s social inclusion by improving their contribution to human capital and, ultimately, export trade participation, thus boosting trade integration in COMESA.
