Our Work

We connect women to the tools, markets, and resilience needed to shape the future economy.

WEDGE Africa’s work brings together women’s economic empowerment, digital inclusion, climate-smart livelihoods, fairer markets, women’s leadership, and evidence for scale.

What our work is designed to change

From exclusion to meaningful participation.

WEDGE Africa addresses the Gender–Green–Digital Gap by helping women move from limited access to greater agency, information, resilience, and opportunity.

Our work is not built around a single training moment. It is built around connected pathways that support women in making stronger livelihood decisions and participating more fully in changing economic systems.

Our Core Work Areas

Six Areas of Action, One Connected Mission.

Each work area strengthens a different part of women’s participation in the digital and green economy.
