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.
