GIZ implements the regional project “Employment Promotion of Women for the Green Transformation in Africa” (WE4D) in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic cooperation and Development (BMZ). Boosting employment opportunities, gender equality and green transformation are central elements of the project. As a multi-donor initiative, WE4D is also commissioned by the European Union (EU) through the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) Investing in Young Businesses in Africa (IYBA) to manage the implementation of “Women Entrepreneurship for Africa” (WE4A).
The IYBA WE4A component aims to increase the economic empowerment and financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs contributing to the green transformation. The component’s main activities seek to enhance business capacities, improve access to financial services and strengthen the offer of business development services by local and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems. It is implemented across eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Cameroon, Malawi, Togo, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda.
