This report has been prepared as part of an Irish-Aid Funded Partnership Programme which,between 2002-2004 worked to promote women's entrepreneurship and gender equality (WEDGE) in Ethiopia, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia. The second phase of (2005-2008) WEDGE expanded geographically to include Kenya and Uganda and technically to mainstream women with disabilities in WEDGE activities (DEWD).
The report combines the expertise of the ILO's Small Enterprise Programme (SEED) and the Skills and Employability (SKILLS) Department to emphasize developing the knowledge base on women entrepreneurs (with and without disabilities) so as to accurately inform strategic interventions in improving advocacy and support services.
