Encouraging women entrepreneurs for jobs and development Women’s Entrepreneurship Development Today, more and more women entrepreneurs are starting businesses and they now account for a quarter to a third of all businesses in the formal economy worldwide. However, the great majority are very small or micro enterprises with little potential for growth. Otherwise, women entrepreneurs are under-represented in enterprises of all sizes, and the bigger the firm the less likely it is to be headed by a woman. Societal attitudes and social beliefs inhibit some women from even considering starting a business, while systemic barriers mean that many women entrepreneurs stay confined to very small businesses often operating in the informal economy. This not only limits their ability to earn an income for themselves and their families but restricts their full potential to contribute to socio-economic development and job creation. The World Bank’s World Development Report 2011 suggests that productivity could increase by as much as 25% in some countries if discriminatory barriers against women were removed. Removing these barriers, such as discriminatory property and inheritance laws, cultural practices, lack of access to formal financial institutions, and time constraints due to family and household responsibilities, will create greater opportunities for sustainable enterprises run by women. This in turn will contribute to women’s economic empowerment and gender equality as well as helping to generate sustainable growth and jobs. While removing barriers is essential, investment is equally vital. Investing in women is one of the most effective means of increasing equality and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Investments in women-specific programmes can have significant knock-on effects for development, since women generally spend more of their income on the health, education and well-being of their families and communities than men do. While targeted measures can bridge the gap for women, it is also essential to remove discriminatory aspects of economic and social policies and programmes that may impede women’s full participation in the economy and society.
This synthesis review, prepared with financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation,
is a companion report to the evaluation of the Foundation’s work on African
Agriculture Resilience (AAR) and Carbon for Poverty Reduction (CPR). The synthesis
review seeks to identify lessons from a broad range of efforts to build climate resilient
agriculture and reduce poverty through carbon markets in Africa. The Rockefeller
Foundation and its grantees and partners are interested in learning not only from the
Foundation’s work but from the work of others, in order to gain a better understanding
of what constitutes successful activities for building climate resilient agriculture
and what works and does not work in carbon projects for poverty reduction in the
agricultural sector.
Agriculture continues to play a key role in the formal economies and in sustaining
local livelihoods in Africa. Climate change, in combination with widespread levels of
poverty and food insecurity, could potentially have large impacts on the well-being of
smallholder farmers and economic growth in the region. Climate resilient agricultural
development and carbon markets for poverty reduction are rapidly emerging as key
issues for development policy and practice. In ensuring that African agriculture is
resilient to the changing climate, it has become imperative to protect livelihoods and
to reduce food insecurity. At the same time, the emerging market for carbon may offer
new possibilities for agriculture to benefit from land use management practices that
sequester carbon, which could, in turn, contribute to poverty reduction.
The report first briefly introduces current debates surrounding AAR and CPR. In spite
of wide agreement about the need for AAR and CPR efforts in the region, determining
the best ways to approach them remains a contentious and uncertain challenge. The
report also examines ongoing AAR- and CPR-type work in the region, based on a rapid
desk-based screening of existing programs and projects, and on analyses available in
the public domain. Tables 1 and 2 summarize reviewed practices, key findings and
early lessons for reviewed adaptation and carbon activities, respectively.
For one week, millions of young people around the world will join a growing movement of entrepreneurial people, to generate new ideas and to seek better ways of doing things. Countries across six continents are coming together to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative to inspire young people to embrace innovation, imagination and creativity. To think big. To turn their ideas into reality. To make their mark.

Catalogue of exhibitors on socio economic empowerment of women in africaDr. Jack Onyisi Abebe
UN Women in collaboration with Timeless Conference organized a Market Place at the Timeless Conference 2016. This booklet is a collation of case studies, good practices and innovations by diverse organizations/ agencies demonstrating good practices in operationalizing normative framework on Women’s Socio-Economic Empowerment. The initiatives documented form part of the Market Place at the Timeless Conference and are innovative and cutting edge examples of interventions/ programmes that could be replicated elsewhere and scaled up for impact to increase socio-economic impacts on women and girls in Africa. They demonstrate evidence on how organizations/ agencies work on women’s socio-economic empowerment and have contributed to improving women’s social and economic empowerment in Africa. The main purpose of the market place is to create a culture of innovative business models and initiatives that guarantee wealth and job creation while implementing ideas that create socio-economic transformation in the lives of women in Africa. - See more at: http://africa.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2016/02/innovative-market-place-on-womens-socio-economic-empowerment-in-africa#sthash.bLmtbqTB.dpuf
