Welcome to the application for the African Women Entrepreneurship Cooperative Cohort 7.

The African Women Entrepreneurship Cooperative is an innovative 12-month, leadership and business management capacity building program that accepts 200 female entrepreneurs annually.

AWEC uses applied and collaborative learning experiences to create immediate business impact and cultivate a pan-African cooperative of entrepreneurs, experts, and allies. The program’s blended-learning model - in which most activities take place digitally - releases AWEC from the traditional confines of in-person training programs and enables us to impact entrepreneurs across the continent and diaspora.
