“This will address a major obstacle, especially for women encountering a lack of access to finance for their firms. The Ethiopia Women Entrepreneurship Development Project aims at improving access to finance and business opportunities for these underserved female entrepreneurs. As the EU bank and one of the world’s largest multilateral lenders, the European Investment Bank can make a real difference by investing in projects that promote women’s inclusion and empowerment. The Women Entrepreneurship Development Project (WEDP) was initiated in 2013 with the support of development partners. The event serves as a platform for debate in areas such as private sector development, finance for small businesses, jobs for youth and women, agriculture, innovation and digitalization.
