: The overall objective of the NPWE project is to strengthen CSO capacities for public-policy and advocacy in the field of WE by merging existing networks into a single platform that will represent interest of women entrepreneurs at all levels. With the planned activities, the project will address some of the identified challenges and contribute among others to strengthening the capacities for evidence-based research, civil dialogue, policy monitoring and national/international networking. For this purpose, we have identified the following specific objectives:
1. Building national platform for WE as a main social partner for policy-making and reform processes;
2. Facilitating structural dialogue, networking and consultation among WE stakeholders at national and local level;
3. Enhance capacities of WE CSOs for policy, advocacy and cooperation with national and local authorities;
4. Promoting women entrepreneurs as drivers of change in WE-related public policy and (youth) economic empowerment;
5. Contributing to the visibility and outreach of the platform.
