Academy for Women Entrepreneurs
30 January 2023 - Impact Hub Abidjan

The AWE program through its Dreambuilder platform has been an important tool in the training and learning of the women entrepreneurs in cohort 3 of this program. Thanks to the AWE program, the women entrepreneurs were prepared and equipped to present their high-potential project to investors in order to benefit from support (technical, logistic, material), financing and advice.

Several tools were made available to them in order to make their projects and businesses known for their long-term development and growth.
