Aprendizajes
- Although the project has worked transversally with men to make visible and value the women work, as well as their business role, no monitoring and follow-up actions were planned to account for progress. It is necessary to negotiate a specific budget with donors for its execution.
- The project must involve second-level women’s organizations to expand the commitment and coverage of the participants in more areas of the country.
- The educational level of the entrepreneurial woman is not a limitation for the use of technology, it allows them to connect faster with the dynamics or demands of the market.
