Women’s Economic Empowerment Hub Launch
The University of Nairobi will officially launch the Women’s Economic Empowerment Hub (WEE Hub) on December 16, 2020. The Hub is a partnership between the University of Nairobi and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The WEE Hub is housed at the African Women Studies Centre (AWSC) in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The vision of the WEE Hub is the full realization of Women’s Economic Empowerment and the mission is to be a thought- leader in producing cutting-edge, innovative, rigorous, and accessible evidence through research for impacting policy formulation, implementation and up-scaling for full realization of women’s empowerment
The WEE Hub intends to achieve this by producing cutting edge, innovative, rigorous, and accessible research in Affirmative Action Funds and Entrepreneurship; Women in formal and informal employment and women’s economic empowerment; childcare and women’s work and women’s movement and policy advocacy for women’s economic empowerment.
The WEE Hub is multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral and will serve as a research and evidence hub, with the aim of strengthening the generation and use of evidence to advance women’s economic empowerment (WEE) and gender equality in Kenya.
The WEE Hub will officially be launched by Prof. Margaret Kobia, Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Gender. Join us during this historic event.
