Approaches to Supporting Women to Become Business Leaders

This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review seeks to document evidence about women scaling up businesses and taking on senior leadership roles.

However, such evidence is often limited in LMIC contexts; much of the literature about women in business in LMICs deals with micro-enterprises, and this report draws on micro-enterprise literature when evidence about larger businesses is lacking.

Similarly, much of the literature on business and entrepreneurship in LMICs is not gender-disaggregated, and this review draws on that literature where gender-disaggregated evidence is not available.
