6.0 The integrated framework for development of women entrepreneurs: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005

In the following sections, an assessment will be made of the Tanzanian support
environment in favour of growth-oriented women entrepreneurs according to each of the
areas set out in the Stevenson and St-Onge (2003) integrated framework, namely:
policy/programme coordination and leadership; promotion; access to credit;
entrepreneurship training; business support and information; associations and networks;
access to premises; the regulatory environment; and research. Current initiatives are
highlighted, and recommendations for possible actions are made to address gaps or
enable enhanced opportunity for increasing the capacity and competency of women
entrepreneurs to contribute to the employment and economic growth of the nation
through the growth of their own enterprises.

Details of the consultants’ original approach as developed and applied in Atlantic
Canada, as well as the lists of topics and related questions, can be found in annexes 3 and
4 of this report.

Re: Why aren't there more women entrepreneurs? - My opinion on this (being a women, and being disabled), is; Women in general like security. Women are the caretakers, in general. In the work environment we are the one to have children. We are the ones who leave work to do this. We deal with a stigma that we are bad mothers if we work, but we are a bad mother if we do not work. I feel there is no way a man could ever understand this. Sure they can try, and some do a good job of it, however they truly do not understand. How could they?? Being a entrepreneur is throwing cation to the wind. It takes believing in yourself. It takes a women who can have someone say no, put us down or just plan old negativity and for us to turn it around. Women who can do this are called names, while men in the business world are just expected to have a thick skin. Studies show in the work environment that women are more apt to be bullies. Women are more apt to turn on each other. We expect more out of each other. Many women also use the work environment to socialize and to find a mate. Men and women are not created equal. Once we understand this and take what we are and "run" with it; the better all of us will be. Women business owners, women entrepreneurs are still considered a minority. Since there are more women then men in this world, some day this will turn around. This too is why men need to protect themselves and keep us under some kind of control. What bothers me to no end is when women give in to the mans world using sex as a selling tool. We need strong women leaders, not those who use their bodies as a step up. This is just my opinion on this subject.
Re: History of Women in Business in the United States - Yes. Women have increasingly made positive economic contributions to society and their position is being recognized more and more as seen on the Forbes List of Executive Women. In general, women can be a bit more practical in their approach as entrepreneurs too.
A ton of Great Women - You might want to profile Teresa Cascioli of LakePort Brewery. She has an amazing story! I met her at at the celebratory luncheon for the Profit/Chatelaine Top 100 Women Business Owners. The Top 100 list is also a great resource for inspirational stories of Women Entrepreneurs.
Profiles of Women Entrepreneurs - Bravado Designs - Bravado Designs is a great company to profile for women entrepreneurs. Kathryn From and Shery Leeder are once again on this year's Profit 100 list of Women Entrepreneurs and this year have moved up to #68. They also won the prestigious Rotman's Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Export Award in 2002. The company, which designs, manufactures and sells nursing bras and nursing apparel, has been steadily growing since it was started at a kitchen table in 1992, and now has worldwide sales. Could it possible be another Robeez???? Kathryn From speaks regularly on entrepreneurship and would be great to profile. Maureen
