Poster for Call for Expressions of Interest for the OAS Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) Project.
WASHINGTON, DC--The Organization of American States (OAS) announces to Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) member states Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent & the Grenadines its call for Expressions of Interest to join the OAS Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) Project.
This project targets women-owned and women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and is designed to empower women to actively participate in and benefit from the digital economy and to build sustainable livelihoods, according to a press release from the OAS.
By participating in this project, women entrepreneurs will have access to mechanisms and various opportunities for digitising their businesses, building an online presence, accessing financial services and accessing international markets, among other things, the release states. Cutting-edge information on relevant topics for business development as well as mentoring programmes will be provided and direct access to a MSME Clearing-house which provides toolkits and resources to access the digital economy, financial opportunities and partnerships. A National Working Group has been established in each country made up of partner institutions to provide support to businesses.
MSME women entrepreneurs operating within these member countries, are invited to apply at
https://forms.gle/E5h5GrVcVrxchsyi9. This registration link will remain open until April 27.
The better equipped our women entrepreneurs are, the greater their impact on economic growth and development of their families and communities, the release states.
The OAS WEE project encourages wide circulation to all eligible women. For more information, contact Caribbean Project Manager Lizra Fabien at
