WEESA is a virtual knowledge-sharing platform that fosters regional exchange, dialogue, and capacity building on women’s economic empowerment (WEE) by strengthening links between evidence and action. Members are researchers, policymakers, development practitioners, and other stakeholders interested in how to expand and accelerate WEE and gender equality in South Asia and elsewhere.
Don't miss out! When you join WEESA you'll have access to our Monthly Digest and regular learning events. And don't forget to bookmark this website – a one-stop resource for WEE-related content.
WEESA is hosted by the World Bank’s South Asia Gender Innovation Lab (SAR GIL), a platform that promotes evidence-based solutions to address gender gaps in South Asia and is supported by the Umbrella Facility for Gender Equality (UFGE) in partnership with the Gates Foundation and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The UFGE is supported with generous contributions from Canada, Denmark, Finland, the Gates Foundation, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
