Welcome to the Women’s Economic Empowerment in South Asia (WEESA) Community of Practice!

WEESA is a virtual knowledge-sharing platform that aims to facilitate regional exchange, dialogue, and capacity building on WEE and strengthen linkages between evidence and action. Members are researchers, decisionmakers, policymakers, and development practitioners interested in how to expand and accelerate WEE and gender equality in South Asia. WEESA offers a repository of curated WEE-related resources, organizes regular webinars and events, and provides small grants for local organizations and researchers.

WEESA is hosted by the World Bank’s South Asia Region Gender Innovation Lab (SAR GIL), a programmatic Advisory Services and Analytics activity that promotes evidence-based solutions for addressing gender gaps in South Asia.

Don't Miss out! When you join WEESA you'll have access to our Monthly Digest, regular learning events and curated content on women's economic empowerment in South Asia and best practices globally.
