Academy for Women Entrepreneurs Program in Rwanda

Hong Kong: Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund)

Deadline: 27-May-22

The U.S. Embassy Kigali of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program of Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE).

Program Objectives

The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs program was created to provide women with the knowledge, networks, and access they need to start and grow successful businesses. The AWE program is a flexible educational opportunity that combines the online platform DreamBuilder with locally provided content, mentoring, and facilitation. Through DreamBuilder, a cohort of women learn core business skills such as strategic planning, marketing and finance, and then discuss the material with local facilitators and business partners.

The program seeks to promote women’s social and economic empowerment, by teaching enterprising women how to launch and scale their businesses. AWE reinforces peer-to-peer learning, networking, and cohesion among the graduating classes of women entrepreneurs, while also demonstrating local business growth. There have already been two cohorts of AWE participants in Rwanda.
