About the Accelerator Programme

Supported by Visa Foundation, the UN Women Care and Climate Entrepreneurship Accelerator works across the Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions to support women-owned and women-benefitting enterprises operating in the care economy, the green economy, and their intersection. This gender-smart acceleration programme provides enterprises with essential business support, gender-expertise, mentorship, access to opportunities to raise capital, and access to networks to build inclusive and resilient businesses.

It also fosters cross-regional collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and engages policymakers, experts, financiers and enterprise-support organizations to strengthen the ecosystem of support for impact enterprises and to catalyse investments in the care and green economies.
