Women’s economic empowerment is central to poverty eradication and achieving inclusive growth. We facilitate gender sensitization activities to engage communities, families, and leaders in promoting women’s economic empowerment and reduce barriers to equal socio-economic opportunities. Our experts create an enabling environment for women entrepreneurs by focusing on skills development and increasing their access to markets, technologies, finance and skills. We support the development of women-led cooperatives and strengthen the business-enabling environment of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including within sustainable value chains.
