Building Economic Resilience for Women Entrepreneurs in Bolivia

The project proposes to address the barriers that penalize the development of women's entrepreneurship in Bolivia. It facilitates access for women entrepreneurs including Indigenous women to support services for women entrepreneurs. The aim is to strengthen their management financial and digital skills. To do this they must have access to financial and digital products and services adapted to their needs. The project aims to mitigate gender inequalities experienced by female entrepreneurs including a high proportion of Indigenous women. It also aims to support them in reviving their economic activities affected by COVID-19.

The expected results of this project include: (1) improved socio-economic conditions for 1 500 female entrepreneurs and their employees (7 500) and their families; (2) strengthened management financial and digital skills of female entrepreneurs; and (3) increased access for women entrepreneurs to financial and digital products and services tailored to their needs.
