Entrepreneurship progamme aims to empower African women
The African Women’s Entrepreneurship Programme (AWEP), taking place in Washington, DC, from the end of July, and Kansas City, Missouri, in the first week in August, aims to empower African women and increase their opportunities in business.
As the programme is organised in conjunction with the 2010 United States/sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum (AGOA), women from AGOA-eligible countries can also take part.
The AWEP is organized by the U.S. Department of State and United States Agency for International Development, under the auspices of the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program.
It basically aims to empower African women entrepreneurs to become part of their national and global business network by increasing opportunities for them to use the AGOA programme and expanding opportunities for exports and US investment in sub-Saharan Africa.
