The Women in Investment Promotion programme is now running its inaugural pilot cohort. Developed jointly by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and FDI Center, the programme is the first global mentorship initiative purpose-built for women working in investment promotion and attraction.

Over eight weeks, participants take part in matched one-to-one mentoring with experienced peers from across the IPA community, group sessions led by sector experts, and cohort-based peer exchange. The programme is fully virtual and structured around the practical demands of real IPA work.
