Profile

We are a group of individuals who believe in the potential of women entrepreneurs in Pakistan. After many years of working in this field, we have become acutely aware of the need for a separate Chamber of Commerce and industry, which is solely dedicated to promoting the cause of women in business. To this end, we are proud to announce the establishment of WCCI. The chamber can also be looked upon as an advocacy group for dealing with issues of economic empowerment of women.

Our History

On Oct 29: Local Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Women Entrepreneurs Committee convener Dr Shehla Javaid Akram has announced establishment of the first-ever women chamber of commerce and industry in the country. The chamber had been registered as a non-profit organization dedicated to promotion and development of women entrepreneurship. It would enable women to work as a pressure group to get their voice heard. The chamber would have its chapters at all the provincial headquarters and in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore chapters were being launched simultaneously. As many as 200 women had already been enrolled members of the Lahore chapter. An application had also been submitted to the government’s Trade Organization director for the registration of the new chamber. Need to establish a separate chamber of commerce and industry for women was felt because the institutions, set up for their empowerment, were not paying attention to women entrepreneurship. The chamber, would work for all categories of women in general and working women in particular. It would help the small women entrepreneurs to form groups of 20 each to establish buying houses to work through networking. The chamber would also help the women in product identification and seeking credit.

USAID PEER Cycle 9

On behalf of PEER’s sponsors at USAID, the National Academies are happy to announce that this year’s cycle of PEER is now open and accepting proposals! PEER Cycle 9 has several new focus areas this year. In addition to the broad call for projects on any development-related research topic, the program welcomes calls in focus areas on advanced digital tools; family planning and reproductive health; the social, economic, and behavioral sciences. There are also several country-specific focus areas: urban WASH and transboundary water in Afghanistan, clean energy in Bangladesh, multiple research sectors in Tunisia, and bioremediation of dioxins and furans in Vietnam. Last year’s cycle only supported projects of one year in length, but this year PEER Cycle 9 is once again inviting proposals for projects lasting two or three years, depending on the focus area. Pre-proposal submissions are due by 11:59 PM (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) on February 10, 2020. For more information on Cycle 9, please see the Cycle 9 RFP.
