The programme has directly impacted over 17,000 women<\/h3>\n

\"ITCThe International Trade Centre\u2019s SheTrades Initiative and The UPS Foundation today announced the amplification of their partnership to champion the economic agency of women entrepreneurs and young women in the digital economy. The strengthened alliance, marked by a multi-year grant over three years, underscores the partners\u2019 dedication to fostering the economic empowerment and digital leadership of women.<\/p>\n

Since its inception in 2019, the \u201cSheTrades and UPS Women Exporters Programme\u201d has worked towards narrowing the economic gap for women entrepreneurs. The programme has implemented tailored and export-oriented technical assistance, fostered the public-private ecosystem to better support women-led businesses and facilitated their market and investment linkages. Its dual approach \u2013 incorporating both global outreach and an in-depth focus in key countries \u2013 has yielded significant results. To date, the programme has directly impacted over 17,000 women with trade-related technical assistance, created 192 jobs for women, and facilitated over $3.72 million in new business and investment opportunities.<\/p>\n

The programme will enhance women\u2019s digital fluency<\/h3>\n

Entering its next phase (2024-2027), the programme will pivot to a digital-centric approach, to empower women entrepreneurs and young women, particularly in Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Africa. The programme will also focus on expanding access to essential digital tools and platforms, ensuring women entrepreneurs are well-equipped to thrive in an increasingly digital business landscape. Furthermore, significant efforts will be made to cultivate young women as future leaders in STEM and other male-dominated fields, providing them with the required skills and resources. Additionally, the programme will aim to strengthen the institutional ecosystem to enhance women\u2019s digital fluency and foster partnerships with market and financial institutions. This will open up opportunities within digital value chains, including positioning women as potential suppliers to key partners. By bridging the gender-digital gap, the programme aims to spur inclusive growth and job creation in the focus regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UPS Foundation is proud to build on our partnership with ITC SheTrades by committing $1 million to a renewed strategic focus on empowering women to succeed in the digital economy,\u201d said Nikki Clifton, President of Social Impact and The UPS Foundation. \u2018Whether it\u2019s tapping into e-commerce and digital payments or harnessing the power of AI and automation, we look forward to working with the ITC to help more women entrepreneurs around the world access and benefit from an increasingly digital global business landscape.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Executive Director at the International Trade Centre, added, \u2018our collaboration with The UPS Foundation is equipping women entrepreneurs with the practical skills they need to sell their products across the world, and as we shift to focus on sharpening digital skills, more women will have the tools and resources they need to succeed in trade.\u2019<\/p>\n

Both ITC and The UPS Foundation see this partnership as a monumental leap towards achieving gender equality, digital inclusivity, and sustainable and inclusive economic growth.<\/p>\n
