About the programme
The Women Entrepreneurship Development Program (WEDP) is a Government of Balochistan initiative for women who run, or want to start, their own enterprise. Its first phase reached women from across the province.
SIA took part in delivering the programme through entrepreneurship training. CONFIRM: SIA’s exact role in WEDP and the name of the government department that leads it.
WEDP now sits at the start of the Pathway’s Women-led enterprise track, alongside rural microenterprise training, so that women who complete it have a clear next step.

What we can share
Phase 1 of WEDP trained 500 women, a milestone SIA marked in July 2026.
SIA’s planning documents also mention PKR 20 million in WEDP grants. CONFIRM: whether this figure is correct, and whether it counts as capital SIA administered for a partner.
CONFIRM: phase 1 dates, districts reached, what share of women started or grew an enterprise, and when phase 2 opens.

How SIA reports results
Every figure SIA publishes has a definition, a source and an "as of" date, and the same number appears on every page, proposal and report. A figure without an agreed definition is not published until it has one.
That is why some results on this page are still marked for checking: they will appear here once they are confirmed.
Work with SIA on a programme like this
SIA designs and delivers programmes with donors, government and companies, and measures every result.
