ILO-WEDGE aims to give women entrepreneurs, including those with disabilities, visibility and voice so that they can be heard among other players in the small and medium enterprise sector. The MOWE celebration is one such activity used to achieve this aim. The celebrations involve holding a series of national events such as media campaigns, workshops, exhibitions and promotional activities with the aim of:
- Promoting the role of women's entrepreneurship development (WED). in national development by recognizing the potential and achievements of women entrepreneurs, including those with disabilities, in generating employment and incomes.
- Showcasing women entrepreneurs as role models.
- Renewing the commitment of stakeholders towards the promotion of women's entrepreneurship development
- Giving women entrepreneurs an opportunity to advocate and lobby in issues that are relevant to them.
- Disseminating information and exchange good practices in the areas of WED.
