Abstract (if Available):

This report addresses the business-enabling environment for women entrepreneurs and the conditions that support or hinder their growth in Rwanda. Opportunities for supporting stronger, more broad-based economic growth for society are addressed by looking at the business enabling environment from a gender perspective. This report builds on other assessments recently completed and looks at the institutions and organizations that are currently providing support to women entrepreneurs. This report aims to provide input into decisions of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Women in Development, the USAID Mission Rwanda, and other donors by providing information on reforms affecting Rwandan women entrepreneurs and their businesses. In addition, this report can be a guide for changes needed to advance women entrepreneurs in Rwanda and the institutions that support them. Detailed recommendations are included at the end of each chapter.
