Support for Entrepreneurship activities of Women (“WOMENtrepreneurship”)

According to the International Labor Organization, there are 812 million women living in developing countries that could contribute more actively to their economies. The correlation between policies to support women, the opportunities available and women’s success in business is clear. In developing nations, empowering women to be entrepreneurs helps reduce poverty for the women, their families and their communities. The Gender GEDI (Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index) found that almost in three quarters of the 30 countries surveyed, the conditions for women’s entrepreneurship and business growth are unfavorable.
Globally, the women-owned enterprises are steadily growing and are contributing to the national economies growth and household incomes. However, women entrepreneurs are still facing many constraints socially and financially that are an obstacle towards their dreams of growing themselves and their business.
