documentation on the state of economic development in Tanzania, the general
environment for SME development, the status of women entrepreneurs in the economy,
and barriers to their growth and development. Over a nine-day period, meetings were
held with 26 key informants, both in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. These included
interviews and discussions with representatives from the ILO Office in Dar es Salaam,
the MIT-SME Section (Dar es Salaam), the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Marketing and
Tourism in Zanzibar, other government agencies, microfinance institutions (MFIs),
associations of women entrepreneurs and their members, universities, banks, and donors
(see Annex 2 for the list of contacts).
Additional reports, studies and programme information were obtained from several
informants. Together with insights gained from the range of interviews and meetings, a basis was formed for assessing and analysing the policy and programme support for the
development of women entrepreneurs in Tanzania, with a particular focus on supporting

areas of the Stevenson and St-Onge (2001) integrated framework (see Figure 1) are
presented in this report.
