Greetings! You have reached the archive page for Womenable's quarterly electronic newsletters.

Womenable is a research, program and policy development consultancy whose mission is to improve the environment for women-owned businesses worldwide. More specifically, we:
  • conduct insightful and actionable research,
  • communicate information and insights in a clear, concise, and thought-provoking manner, and
  • work with the stewards of women's entrepreneurship around the world - policy makers, multi-lateral organizations, corporate decision makers, entrepreneurial support organizations, and the women's business community - to implement, evaluate and improve policies and programs to support women's enterprise development.
In other words, we raise the tide that will lift all women-owned boats.

The newsletters below contain news and links to information that we hope will enable your work on behalf of women business owners around the world. And for more information about Womenable, please visit our web site or read The Womenabler Blog.
