Résumé
Many women entrepreneurs - whether they manage large, small or micro businesses - don't participate in the business circles that decision-makers know and consult. A majority of women entrepreneurs are isolated in marginal economic areas such as micro and informal enterprises; in some countries, they account for up to 70% of such businesses. And trade organizations - ministries, chambers of commerce, export programmes, associations - don't reach out specifically to women, expecting women's organizations to bridge the gap. Existing export assistance, when available, may not come to their attention or match their needs. While women in business face challenges common to all small firms - such as access to credit, contacts and training - their problems are magnified by lack of access to the networks that can help them compete in global business.
