WEDGE in Tanzania

Written by Stephen Forder | 19 March 2010

The Women’s Entrepreneurship Development and Gender Equality (WEDGE) programme was initiated in 2002 and is sponsored by the Government of Ireland. The aim of the WEDGE is to eradicate socio-cultural, practical, legal and political obstacles for micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSMEs), in particularly women entrepreneurs. Another aim is to encourage gender mainstreaming in governmental policies and projects.
