OFFICIAL CHAPTER OF:
FOWEK PROGRAMME INITIATIVE
We strengthen women-focused business associations to improve governance, organisational capacity, member services and representation. The programme includes the County Enterprise Networks Programme and other initiatives focused on strengthening business membership organisations.
FOWEK works at the level of the association, not only the individual entrepreneur. When a business membership organisation has sound governance, clear organisational capacity and useful member services, every woman entrepreneur in it benefits.
By strengthening how these associations are run and how they represent their members, FOWEK helps build a stronger and more connected network of women-focused institutions.
This programme serves the organisations that support women in business:
Women-Focused Business Associations: Associations that want to improve their governance, organisational capacity and member services.
Business Membership Organisations (BMOs): Organisations seeking to strengthen how they serve and represent their members.
FOWEK delivers institutional strengthening through targeted initiatives for business membership organisations:
County Enterprise Networks Programme: An initiative focused on strengthening business membership organisations.
Governance and Organisational Capacity: Support that helps associations improve how they are governed and organised.
Member Services and Representation: Support that helps associations serve their members better and represent them effectively.
