Entrepreneurship support in Asia for women with disabilities
Impact Hub Dhaka, in collaboration with UNESCAP, aims to enhance inclusive entrepreneurship support for women with disabilities across Asia.
Focusing on tackling financing gaps and infrastructural barriers, this project unites stakeholders from Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Nepal, including disability-focused groups. The aim is to co-create a disability-inclusive entrepreneurship framework by researching best practices within the Impact Hub Network and its partners.
Through literature reviews, interviews with disabled women entrepreneurs, and the establishment of a regional Community of Practice (RCoP) and local Community of Practice (LCoP), the project will foster learning and knowledge exchange among Impact Hubs and Entrepreneur Support Organizations in the region with disability expertise.
