The Canadian
Women’s Community
Economic Development Council (CWCEDC) was founded in 2002 to
advance women-centred community economic development as a means
of reducing poverty and improving the lives of women, their
families and communities.
We do so by:
|
|
- increasing the awareness of the effectiveness of holistic, women-centred CED
- researching and documenting issues, trends and outcomes of the diversity and spectrum of women-centred CED, and
- strengthening women-centred CED sector and organizations
We actively participate in, present research findings and
address policy issues at social policy forums, round tables and consultations.
The CWCEDC is a nationally incorporated not-for-profit organization of women community economic development practitioners.
Community Economic Development (CED) is local economic development that is
focussed on people, employment, self-employment, inclusion and sustainability.
Its goal is to provide meaningful work for all, at a level of income that
provides a secure livelihood, in jobs that are environmentally, socially
and economically sustainable.
