US envoy unveils plan to empower Kenyan women

NAIROBI, KENYA: Businesswomen have a reason to smile after US Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec launched the Africa Women's Entrepreneurship Programme (AWEP) strategic plan 2014-2017.

The initiative seeks to increase economic and financial literacy among women entrepreneurs, increase the number of women in leadership and decision-making positions, as well as increase the number of women owning successful enterprises.

It also aims to empower African women entrepreneurs by building their capacity on business and offering them a market through the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
