Women’s Economic Empowerment in Senegal – A National Gender Analysis

Abstract

The National Gender Analysis on Women’s Economic Empowerment in Senegal was developed by consultant Binta Baba Sy with support from the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) under the “WE-Champs: Strengthening the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem by Networking Regional Women’s Chambers of Commerce and Business Associations” project, funded by the U.S. Department of State Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues (S/GWI). The WE-Champs project aims to support women’s chambers of commerce and business associations across Europe, Central Asia and Africa to strengthen services for women entrepreneurs and address barriers to their economic participation. This National Gender Analysis identifies common themes and obstacles to women’s economic participation in Senegal, underscoring the pressing need for targeted policies and interventions aimed at addressing gender disparities and fostering women’s economic empowerment within these regions.
