National Project Coordinator - ILO Kenya

National Project Coordinator - Kenya Women's Entrepreneurship Development and Economic Empowerment

Since 2002, the ILO has been promoting women's entrepreneursnip development (WED). Women's entrepreneurship development contributes to outcome 3: Sustainable enterprises create productive and decent jobs.

Through its dedicated programme, the ILO works to enhance economic opportunities for women by carrying out affirmative action in support of women starting, formalizing and growing their enterprises, and by mainstreaming gender equality issues into its work in enterprise development.

Through its partners, ILO aims to create an enabling environment for women's entrepreneurship that generates quality jobs, builds institutional capacity and provides tools and support services in order to serve the strategic needs of women entrepreneurs.

A new two-year project financed by Irish Aid will enable the ILO's WED programme to reach scale and access a new target population, by building off of existing networks of trainers and WED tools introduced in the past in the country and reaching out to new partners serving young women through the ongoing ILO-Africa Commission Youth Entrepreneurship Facility (YEF).

The WED country projects (Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda) will be closely linked to a global component, focussing on knowledge sharing and generation.

The project will be based in ILO's sub regional office in Dar-es-Salaam.

The national WED project coordinator (NPC) will work within the YEF team, which covers the same countries, and implement the project's specific activities, outputs and outcomes to further strengthen women's entrepreneurship development and gender mainstreaming.

The NPC is supervised by the Chief Technical Advisor of YEF and falls under the overall responsibility of the ILO director in Dar-es-Salaam.
