Women’s Economic Empowerment Working Group (WEE WG) Meeting

Founded in 2014, the Women’s Economic Empowerment Working Group (WEE WG) brings together a large and diverse group of individuals committed to improving practice and scaling successful approaches. The WEE WG curates technical resources, sources information for state of practice reports, works collaboratively to develop new learning products, and hosts online discussions, webinars, and learning events. Members benefit from peer-to-peer support and opportunities to strengthen alliances and shared commitments.

The WEE WG Annual Meeting aims to foster strong connections between new and existing community members and provide a space for members to share learnings and promising approaches. We will also review our collective accomplishments from this year, plan together for 2019 and beyond, and discuss innovations and new initiatives within our membership and more broadly. The meeting is designed to provide a conduit for member experiences in the field, facilitate peer-to-peer learning, and support members to discover opportunities for collaboration around the topic of women's economic empowerment.
