Women’s Economic Empowerment Flourishes in APEC
The APEC Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy meeting was held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea on May 3-4, 2015. The participants of the meeting discussed new plans and projects that empower more women to be part of supply chains and provide women with access to technology, health services, finance and marketing and finalized a strategic plan which will chart efforts of the 21 APEC member economies to promote women's economic empowerment.
The meeting is in line with one of the Philippines APEC presidency priorities on cultivating an APEC-wide women’s entrepreneurship network to drive women-led business growth in the region.
