Women’s economic empowerment

We believe that ending poverty and achieving inclusive growth cannot be achieved without the economic empowerment of women. To reduce barriers, we facilitate gender sensitization activities to engage communities, families, and leaders in supporting women’s economic empowerment. Our experts create an enabling environment for women entrepreneurs by focusing on skills development and increasing their access to markets and resources. We support the business development of women-led cooperatives and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises within sustainable value chains.
