Step 1: Frame the problem first.
Women often want to start businesses but are held back by not knowing the right skills and not having easy access to money, so the measures should target exactly these two gaps.
Step 2: First measure, build skills.
Running regular training programmes in things like digital tools, bookkeeping, marketing and craft skills gives women the practical know how and confidence to actually start and run a business.
Step 3: Second measure, ease access to money.
Offering low interest loans, start up grants and support through self help groups removes the biggest financial barrier that stops good business ideas from getting off the ground.
Step 4: Sum up the answer.
Skill development training and easier access to credit together are the two measures that inspire and enable women to take up entrepreneurship.
