This publication focuses on women entrepreneurs with disabilities’ access to business
support and financial resources. The objective is to increase economic opportunity for all
and foster inclusive growth. This report may be particularly useful for business development
organisations and financial service providers and investors, as well as policymakers seeking
to understand the interplay between gender, disability, and entrepreneurship.
All institutions and actors within the business and financial ecosystems have a role in thoroughly evaluating and addressing biases in their respective systems, paving the way for enhanced inclusion and universal accessibility. To that end, this study offers the following
recommendations to guide these efforts:
1. Promote Accessible Infrastructure
2. Collect Gender and Disability Data
3. Commit to Institutional Diversity and Inclusion
4. Assist Businesses to Mainstream Inclusion and
Accessibility
5. Integrate Inclusion in National-Level Policy
6. Provide Relevant Business and Financial Products to Address the Needs of Women with Disabilities
7. Engage with OPDs and Families in Capacity Building Initiatives for Persons with Disabilities
8. Prioritise Education and Awareness Initiatives
