Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to launch a women-centered entrepreneurship program, aimed at financially uplifting the women living in the merged tribal districts.
Named “Women Entrepreneurs Shining through Constraints (WESC),” the program has been formulated under the larger Accelerated Implementation Program (AIP) for creating employment opportunities for women in remote and distant areas.

Some of these sectors include agriculture, horticulture, textile, livestock, dairy, poultry, apiculture, handicrafts, food processing and packaging, nurseries, and kitchen gardening.
