ZDH Sequa Support

ZDH Sequa Support

ZDH Sequa is a German nonprofit organization that supports chambers, associations, and SMEs in developing countries through capacity-building programs. Its partnership with COWE centers around institutional strengthening, governance enhancement, and building networks that empower women entrepreneurs. With ZDH Sequa support, COWE undertakes training programs for its leadership, staff, and members on areas like advocacy, financial inclusion, quality assurance, and supply chain integration. The initiative also helps COWE align its internal processes to international best practices in member management, monitoring, impact assessment, and partnership development.

ZDH Sequa projects often include exchange visits and mentorship between Indian and German business leaders, promoting intercultural dialogue and strategic insights. This relationship helps COWE move beyond event-based interventions into long-term, systemic transformation. The collaboration has contributed to creating sustainable systems for COWE to deliver services more efficiently, attract institutional funding, and scale its outreach. For women entrepreneurs, the benefit is twofold: improved services from COWE and access to well-structured global programs that accelerate their business growth.
