| Summary: | The Government of Tanzania is committed
to supporting women entrepreneurs with both policy and
practical support. The Government of Tanzania has made
impressive strides in supporting women entrepreneurs, and
its policies reflect a commitment to advancing women. The
Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Marketing, which
commissioned this report, has established special
initiatives to reach out to women, and government supported
organizations such as the Small Industries Development
Organization (SIDO) have been working to empower women
entrepreneurs through training and access to credit. One
crucial recommendation is to improve women's access to
finance by encouraging existing commercial banks to
establish gender-sensitive programs and lines of credit for
women entrepreneurs. To improve women's access to
trade, the report recommends implementing gender analysis in
the formulation of trade and economic growth policies, and
providing training for women entrepreneurs on international
buyer requirements and other relevant information, to
facilitate their exports to international markets. For more
