Economic and Empowerment Portfolios
WIBEN-SA manages two critical portfolio sets. The Economic Portfolios target sector-specific growth and influence across 11 high-impact industries, including Mining and Energy, ICT and Innovation, and Finance. Their focus is on opening procurement, promoting trade, and ensuring women-led enterprises thrive in core sectors.
The Empowerment Portfolios (Leadership, Health, Education, and Social Development) focus on building the necessary human and social capital. These ensure women have the essential skills, well-being, and governance capacity to fully leverage the economic opportunities created by the first set of portfolios.
