In celebration of Women's Month and Earth Day, the United States Agency for International Development (USAid) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc. and the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) to empower women in the waste sector.

Through the Women in Waste's Economic Empowerment Activity under the Clean Cities, Blue Ocean program, USAid will work with partners to transform their business ideas into startups, expanded enterprises, or franchised operations through training, mentoring, and funding.
