The Commonwealth Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator (CWEA), a strategic multistakeholder partnership from the Commonwealth Businesswomen’s Network (CBWN), the Global Entrepreneurship Network UK (GEN UK) and Oxentia today joins forces with the Women’s Entrepreneurship Accelerator (WEA), a strategic multi-partnership initiative established by five UN agencies and Mary Kay Inc.

CWEA is a direct response to three developments: the agreement by Commonwealth Heads of Government in London in 2018 ‘to work towards an increase in the number and enhancement of the success rate of women-owned businesses, break down gender barriers in all sectors, and increase opportunities for women to trade internationally’; the recognition by the G20 in 2020 that 'there is ‘a missed opportunity - to tackle the gap that needs immediate action, which is the representation of women in emerging fields’; and the UN Global Acceleration Plan to advance gender equality by 2026 and its Action Coalitions on Economic Justice and Rights and Technology and Innovation launched in 2021.
