Women’s economic empowerment (WEE) is integral to the growth of any economy. However, women entrepreneurs face restrictive social norms, attitudes, and practices that exclude them from fully participating in the economy, including from accessing financial resources.
On September 16th and 17th, MEDA and Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) hosted a virtual two-day women entrepreneur symposium that brought together 97 participants from small and growing businesses (SGBs), investors, financial service, and technical assistance providers from East Africa.
