Why Women and Youth Economic Empowerment Matter
Women and young people play an important role in driving economic growth and breaking the cycles of poverty. However, many face barriers to accessing the skills, resources, financing, and opportunities they need to succeed. TechnoServe works with businesses and other partners to address these challenges, helping women and young people increase their incomes, grow their businesses, and access better jobs. By creating more opportunities for women and young people to participate in the economy and make decisions about their livelihoods, we help build stronger businesses, communities, and economies.
