This training project, organised by the ILO, aims to:
- expand work and income-earning opportunities for women and men in enterprise in families and communities
- enable low-income women entrepreneurs and their families to shift from marginal low income generation to profitable business development
- contribute to the social and economic empowerment of populations in poverty
The authors aim to do this by mobilising business and gender networks and partner organisations in ILO member states, and increasing their capacity to promote women's entrepreneurship and gender equality in business and development services for disadvantaged groups.
The manual is divided into sections addressing:
- the basics of gender and entrepreneurship
- the business woman and her environment
- the business project
- people, organisation, and management
- tips for trainers
- hints for organisers
- sample schedule for trainings
