Abstract

Entrepreneurial Developmental Programmes (EDPs) serve an important role in developing and assisting women entrepreneurs. Women entrepreneurs make a substantial contribution to economic growth, job creation, and advancement in society, but they frequently encounter obstacles such as a lack of financial backing, poor business experience, lack of trust, and social stigma. This article emphasises the value of EDPs for building entrepreneurial skills, enhancing decision-making abilities, recognising business prospects, and raising knowledge about government programs and financial aid. EDPs also assist women in developing networks, increasing creativity, and strengthening their managerial skills. By offering organized training and ongoing supervision, EDPs enable women to establish and run their own businesses, encouraging independence and inclusive economic growth.
