Entrepreneurship and Gender Equality,
With Impact at Scale
The Women’s Entrepreneurship Access Center (WEAC) is an entrepreneurial community for women and youth supported by the U.S. Department of State. WEAC (formerly known as WECREATE) focuses on providing a safe environment for women entrepreneurs to gain access to important resources and tools for economic empowerment. The Center enables women entrepreneurs to move from the informal sector into the formal sector, while generating momentum for measurable economic and societal change. WEAC is specifically designed to advance gender equality in entrepreneurship through a portfolio of business growth programs, tools and events created to address barriers faced by women seeking to start and grow their businesses.
