About the Visiting WEAmericas Delegation
The Women's Entrepreneurship in the Americas (WEAmericas) initiative and exchange increases women's economic participation and addresses the key barriers women confront when starting and growing small and medium enterprises. WEAmericas also includes a yearly follow-on component funded by the private sector and held in locations throughout Latin or South America. The WEAmericas initiative includes an annual International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) exchange to the United States.
