Our Activities
We have made significant progress to date across the WEED network on a number of actions including mapping the state of women’s participation in the economy which plays a vital role in the sustainable development of cities and exploring practical methods of mobilising their potential in urban economies.
The creation of the ULSGs in each partner city has been a great way of bringing representatives from Local Authorities, Economic Development Agencies, Chambers of Commerce and Private Sector partners together round the table to discuss real solutions and interventions for making sure urban economies benefit from women’s economic and entrepreneurial activity.
