This electronic manual offers the chance to access real-life experiences about women entrepreneurship promotion (WEP) gathered from numerous projects around the globe. By providing practice-oriented tools, it makes successful strategies for gender-oriented entrepreneurship promotion replicable and applicable.

The first part (Guidelines) focuses on the strategies and tools of the WEP project cycle: planning, implementing and monitoring. The second part (Toolkit) presents concrete worksheets and forms for practitioners who want to use the tools presented in Part I.

Recorded as a special PDF-file, the manual enables users to interactively "jump" between corresponding chapters and topics of both parts. Additionally, part II is also included as a MS-Word file, which allows users to adapt worksheets and questionnaires to their exact needs and to the specific circumstances of a project.

The CD-Rom is available via sed.bsm@intercooperation.ch or the manual can be downloaded on the Backstopping Mandate Website
