Who We Are

Building an Institutional Pathway for Women-Owned Enterprises to Grow and Scale

ACCI-WEAP was established to transform the way women-owned enterprises access the capabilities, capital, technology, markets and partnerships required for sustainable growth.

Anchored by the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) and implemented in partnership with DIniti8tive, Agropedia Limited and Caring Lot International Initiative, the programme combines ACCI's enterprise ecosystem with specialised technical partners to deliver accountable, results-driven support.

Leveraging ACCI's extensive business ecosystem, ACCI-WEAP provides an institutional pathway through which development partners, financial institutions, government, investors and the private sector can co-create solutions, unlock and facilitate access to finance and investment, expand enterprise reach and scale what works.
