USAID LENS has supported several women to establish their own businesses in sectors where their presence is below the 9% ownership threshold. This has been done through a grants program, and these businesses are now operational. Among these businesses, several also have engaged in USAID LENS capacity building activities and business startup training. However, in the early stages of their business, most also require ongoing mentoring, capacity building and marketing support to ensure their sustainability.
The contractor is expected to provide mentoring in the following core areas: accounting, financial management, cost control and sound record-keeping practices; marketing capacity and the use of ICT as a business enabler in business operations, including financial management and marketing.
