About the programme

The Women Entrepreneurship Development Program (WEDP) is run with the Women Development Department, Government of Balochistan, for women who run, or want to start, a growth-oriented enterprise.

SIA delivers it across the province: training, incubation and seed grants for growth-oriented women-led enterprises.

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.

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.
