Empowering Women Entrepreneurs
Karen Masterson and African Finalists
Women comprise half of the world's population, yet significant gaps remain in both economic opportunity and participation for women in developing countries. Advancing efforts that empower women entrepreneurs in developing countries and communities helps to bridge this gap, create sustainable opportunities and foster equality.
The pioneering Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Partnership Program identifies qualified women entrepreneurs in developing countries and directly connects them with business professionals in developed countries who can help them build the network, business strategies and practices that will help them create new opportunities, fulfill their potential and achieve long-term success.
A one-on-one relationship-based approach is at the core of the Partnership Program’s philosophy — connecting women with women, providing coaching, mentorship, support, and role models for the entrepreneurs.

GENDER MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN WATER MANAGEMENt - Sponsor IUCN
Women have considerable knowledge about water resources, including water quality and reliability, and are key to the success of water resources development and protection.

In the past decades IUCN has acknowledge that it will only be through a gender approach that a clearer and more integral vision will be obtained about the relations human beings have built with the ecosystems. This means analyzing and understanding the various roles and responsibilities, the levels and quality of participation in decision‐making, the needs and visions of women and men alike. Learn More
