Strengthening of women‘s business associations

The project strengthens women’s business associations in Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan to promote women’s economic participation. The Association of Women Entrepreneurs in Germany (VdU) and Global Project Partners (GPP) jointly support the three new Women in Business (WiB) partner associations – FOWEK, WCCIMA, and WCCIK – in developing their organizational and professional capacities. Through training, advisory services, and joint networking activities, the project enhances management skills, expands service portfolios, and increases the visibility of the associations. In addition, the partners are integrated into the international WiB network to foster B2B cooperation and exchange among women entrepreneurs. In this way, the partner associations contribute to enabling more women to realize their economic potential and to develop their businesses successfully.
