In recent years, more focus has been put on how Nigeria can continue to improve gender equality and development. In order to achieve this, numerous organizations have been created, including the Women Enterprise Alliance. The Women Enterprise Alliance is a non-government organization that helps women achieve long-term success as entrepreneurs by providing the resources they need. 

 

Women Enterprise Alliance Goals

One of their primary objectives is to help provide the funding for 5,000 female entrepreneurs to enter the workforce. By placing women throughout the workforce, the organization hopes to create 100,000 jobs over the first five years of its inception. In doing so, Nigeria can continue to evolve and grow through women-funded businesses.
