Women’s Business Agendas (WBA)
A Women’s Business Agenda (WBA) is both an advocacy process and a product. The process is cyclical: convene businesswomen and their allies, build consensus on key issues and their respective priorities, develop policy prescriptions, advocate to policymakers, monitor the policymaking process and evaluate the effectiveness of advocacy, reconvene to begin the process again with an updated set of issues. The WBA product is a document containing research and data on barriers to women’s participation in commerce and a set of policy recommendations vetted and endorsed by a diverse group of private sector stakeholders whose number and breadth of representation carries serious weight for governing leaders.
