The Women ICT Frontier Initiative (WIFI) flagship programme aims to promote women’s entrepreneurship in Asia and the Pacific through enhancing capabilities of women entrepreneurs in ICT and entrepreneurship so that they and their enterprises can become more productive, and hopefully grow and be sustainable so that they can actively contribute to community development as well as to the local and national economy.
A comprehensive and integrated ICT and entrepreneurship training programme was developed for two target audiences: 1) women entrepreneurs; and 2) government leaders and policymakers.
WIFI employs a two-track approach to building capacities of women entrepreneurs:
- Knowledge Enhancement. This includes learning the concepts and principles of women empowerment, SDGs, role of ICT, planning and managing a business.
- ICT Skills Enhancement. This entails actual use ICT and applications in various business functions.
In addition to women entrepreneurs, WIFI targets government leaders and policymakers to strengthen their capacities in creating the enabling environment for ICT-empowered women entrepreneurship.
