Meeting the UN’s SDGs: AWEC’s Proven Impact

Launched to meet an expressed need for better access to high quality business and management skills training, AWEC was explicitly designed to create impact for African women entrepreneurs. Our unique blended learning approach leverages technology to expand our reach across Africa, cultivate relationships between participants, and equip women with the skills to take their ventures to the next level. 

Our program design and proven results align with three of the UN’s stated Sustainable Development Goals for 2030: 

• SDG #4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

• SDG #5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

• SDG #8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

AWEC’s contributions to achieving the goals of quality education, gender equality, and decent work and economic growth are sustained by the generous philanthropic support from foundations, corporations, and individuals who share our vision of changing Africa through women-led entrepreneurship.
