UN SPONSORED TRAINING SESSION FOR WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES

Supplier Diversity: Women Owned Businesses (WOB)

WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES

The UN Secretariat is dedicated to providing opportunities to Women-Owned Businesses, in line with Sustainable Development Goal #5 – of achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

The United Nations Secretariat is dedicated to increasing the participation of Women Owned Business (WOB) in its procurement of goods and services. The Office of Supply Chain Management will continue to both support and develop initiatives that promote this goal.

The United Nations is pleased to announce that it has partnered with WEConnect International, a global network that connects women-owned businesses to qualified buyers around the world and breaks down the barriers that prevent women owned businesses in participating in the global marketplace.

UN SPONSORED TRAINING SESSIONS (2021)

How do I improve my business credit in the long-term? How do I pitch for funding from an investor? How do I create a capital plan to assess the feasibility of a growth strategy? How do I widen my customer base? How do I build a global brand?

These questions and many more will be answered during a series of trainings sponsored by the United Nations Office of Supply Chain Management and implemented by WEConnect International. Trainings will be provided to women-owned businesses registered as vendors with the United Nations Secretariat.

To register as a vendor with the United Nations Secretariat please go to United Nations Global Marketplace.

Once your business is registered with the United Nations Global Marketplace, we invite you to attend a range of FREE trainings, designed to address some of the most common barriers to doing business in the global marketplace!

Please note that all training will be held in English and we offer two sets of sessions in the mornings at 08:00 and at 18:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST).
