Strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem on the basis of economic empowerment for rural women living in San Borja
CECASEMBackground Information
This proposal responds to the needs of the women entrepreneurs of the San Borja municipality. During a health crisis economic income must be increased, while poverty and food insecurity should also be reduced. This project also addresses a reality and problem inherent to the majority of rural municipalities, which is economic reactivation. For this reason, the economic income of women should be increased in order to enable them to achieve economic autonomy, ensure food security for the families in the communities, and also strengthen the municipal entrepreneurial ecosystem.
