Better access to business and management education will enable economies to tap into the “the exponential power of women as entrepreneurs and managers.” Through partnerships between universities in Europe and the US and business schools in emerging and developing economies, the programme is active in more than 40 economies. The Initiative seeks to have a lasting impact on the quality and capacity of business education in the economies where it is active. The women selected for the programme enrol in customised certificate programmes lasting from five weeks to six months.
