WOESA NPC
Introduction
WOESA was officially launched at the International Conference Centre in Durban on the 9th March 2002. The Ministers in the Department of Minerals and Energy have all supported WOESA as part of their areas of focus. The establishment of the new department of Energy presents greater opportunity for WOESA’s mandate to expand to include all forms of energy and to reach a broader community of women entrepreneurs.
