Presentation
This project aims to analyze the importance of training and business networks for the empowerment of women as leaders of their small businesses and complements the resources associated with project 787. The project is a pilot effort with two interventions promoting female entrepreneurship. Both include a traditional training component based on the transmission of good business practices. One of them is complemented by individual counseling, while the other promotes and manages the formation of peer groups of women entrepreneurs to improve their individual businesses. The program is being implemented by Sector 3, an NGO partner specializing in adult training in business management, which also participated in the design of the interventions together with GRADE and will work with seven cohorts of women entrepreneurs for approximately three years. The implementation of the pilot is associated with an impact evaluation study, financed by another agreement with the IDB-MIF, which is based on an experimental design that randomly assigns women entrepreneurs interested in the program to these treatment groups, in addition to a control group. The information to be used is based on surveys that will include a wide range of indicators, and will include three follow-up surveys, up to two years after the interventions have ended.
