GET ahead for women in enterprise: training package & resource kit (pdf 780kb)

This training package is designed for International Labour Organisation (ILO) partner organisations to promote women's enterprise development, particularly for those women in poverty who want to start or already have a small-scale business.

The package is designed with the overall aims of expanding work opportunities for women and men, enabling female entrepreneurs to scale-up small businesses to be more profitable, and contributing to the social and economic empowerment of women in poor communities.

It addresses the specific needs of female entrepreneurs since mainstream programmes tend to be male-biased. It recognises the need to develop entrepreneurial skills from a gender perspective, focusing on the practical and strategic needs of low-income women in enterprise - it provides guidance to women on how to develop their entrepreneurial skills and maximise support through groups, networks and institutions that deal with enterprise development.
