ASEAN, ESCAP, Canada launch Policy Toolkit to strengthen women’s entrepreneurship
JAKARTA, Nov 23, 2022 – The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), and the Government of Canada launched the Policymakers Toolkit “Strengthening Women’s Entrepreneurship in National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Policies and Action Plans”.
Empowering women – especially women entrepreneurs running micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) – is a prerequisite for ASEAN Member States (AMS) to succeed in achieving the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its promise of ‘leaving no one behind’. Hence, MSME agencies in AMS are championing women’s entrepreneurship by taking concrete steps towards improving the policy ecosystem for women-led businesses in ASEAN.
