COWE actively aligns with several Government of India (GOI) initiatives to enhance opportunities for women entrepreneurs:

  • ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect): Promotes quality manufacturing with minimal environmental impact.
  • GeM (Government e-Marketplace): Enables women entrepreneurs to register and supply goods/services to government departments.
  • Lean Manufacturing: Helps MSMEs reduce waste and optimize resources.
  • ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce): Supports women in entering e-commerce via decentralized platforms.
  • PM Vishwakarma Yojana: Offers support to traditional artisans and craftsmen, many of whom are women, with training, tools, and marketing support.
  • ODOP (One District One Product): Promotes unique local products from each district by facilitating branding and market access.

Through advocacy, capacity building, and direct participation, COWE ensures its members can leverage these initiatives effectively to expand their business footprint and improve quality and competitiveness.
