Description

USAID’s Policy on Gender Equality and Female Empowerment lays out a comprehensive commitment to leveling the playing field for women and men. Through this Addendum to the VISP APS, USAID seeks to address several of the known barriers to women’s economic empowerment and equality that growth-oriented women entrepreneurs tend to face. Among those barriers include: 1) underdeveloped leadership skills; 2) lack of access to tailored business advisory services; and 3) insufficient connection to networks that can help them grow their business, access credit and expand their markets. This is aggravated by a further lack of advisors, role models, and business connections that can help fill the skills gap. This activity is designed to expand the person-to-person advice and connections that women have identified as fundamental to growth and resilience.
