International Labour Organization - Women's Entrepreneurship Development

Geschichte

The ILO-WED programme works with service providers promoting entrepreneurship development (financial, non-financial, public, private, associative, freelance etc.) and builds their capacity to better support women entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses. It also works towards creating a more positive enabling environment for WED, by supporting assessments of the situation, and working with governments and policy makers to remove the specific gender barriers that women entrepreneurs may face. The ILO-WED programme is a leading global actor in Women’s Entrepreneurship Development with presence in projects covering 26 countries from four regions: Africa, Arab States, Central and Latin America, and Central Asia and Caucasus.

Through the economic empowerment of women, it aims to contribute to greater gender equality, as well as to more job creation and economic development.
