Papua New Guinea Entrepreneurship Education Development Workshop

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) began programming in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2013 with the understanding that improving the conditions for women’s economic empowerment in PNG requires a supportive ecosystem of interconnected institutions that possess both the gender lens to identify the unequal barriers faced by women and the commitment to proactively democratizing opportunities for all. Through ongoing partnerships with the Australian and U.S. governments, CIPE is implementing a cutting-edge women’s economic empowerment program in a country where women face daunting obstacles. To help create a broader “entrepreneurial ecosystem,” CIPE is operating the Women’s Business Resource Centre (WBRC) in Port Moresby, working with PNG universities to integrate entrepreneurship into formal curriculum, and providing technical assistance and advocacy trainings to women’s business organizations.

To support the CIPE PNG Grant Program, GBSN is organizing a workshop that includes three interactive modules designed to explore mini-case studies completed by GBSN based on the work of its member schools that are relevant to the small grant projects of Papua New Guinea schools.

The mini-case studies will be provided to workshop participants. GBSN CEO, Dan LeClair will facilitate three interactive modules within a larger workshop umbrella. Each module will feature 1-2 guest speakers representing one of the mini-case examples. The length of each module will be between 60 and 75 minutes.
