Promote the network's affiliated programmes and encourage interest in signing up to them.
Gather enough data and evidence to influence and advise policy makers & network members.
By clarifying how to deliver on the above, the strategy, when implemented, should serve the women social entrepreneurs' ecosystem and enable it to grow, gain influence and therefore, grow its social impact.
