Special Initiatives

In addition to our programmes and projects, WIEGO undertakes a range of special initiatives, primarily focused on advancing research and expanding dialogue on the informal economy. These are designed and implemented in collaboration with members or partners from WIEGO’s constituent groups: membership-based organizations (MBOs) of informal workers, researchers and statisticians, and practitioners from development agencies (see Who We Are for more).
