In support of W-GDP, the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) was created in 2019 and launched in 26 countries, with the goal of enhancing female empowerment and gender equality in the developing world. One of Concordia’s Global Patron Members, U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF), has partnered with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) to expand the AWE Program. This conversation, co-hosted by USADF, will engage with three graduates of the AWE Program, to highlight female entrepreneurs in Africa and the importance of supporting an ecosystem that enables them to thrive.
