The JICA FemPOWER Africa initiative recently took place in Japan, bringing together female entrepreneurs and representatives from public and private structures. The Senegalese Agency for the Development and Support of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (Adepme) participated in the event, which aimed to improve support for the development of female entrepreneurship. The meeting provided a platform for sharing experiences and discovering new practices and approaches to supporting businesses.
The Adepme reported that the event featured training sessions, exchanges between countries, and visits to discover other practices and approaches to supporting businesses. Senegalese SMEs benefited from training workshops, and an Adepme team was trained alongside a team formed by the agency. The different sessions allowed participants to compare experiences, share realities faced by African SMEs, and discover solutions developed in the Japanese context.
The Adepme considers the knowledge gained as concrete material to inform reflection on supporting SMEs and female entrepreneurs in Senegal. The agency believes that this experience will help to improve the support provided to female entrepreneurs in the country. The event was an opportunity for Senegalese entrepreneurs to learn from Japanese experiences and best practices.
