  1. WOMEN’S ENTREPRENEURSHIP: ETF POLICY INDICATORS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS ACT Mirlinda Kusari Purrini , SHE-ERA & Anthony Gribben, ETF Istanbul, 21-22 September 2010

  2. EU policy interest in women’s entrepreneurship • Problem of the women entrepreneurship in EU (and EU pre-accession countries) • How to improve contribution of women to economy? • How to better integrate women into the labour market? • Policy response of EU and EU pre-accession countries • Better policies and actions to support women’s entrepreneurship (Small Business Act) • Pre-accession countries asked for SBA indicators • ETF women’s entrepreneurship policy indicators for the SBA (April 2010)

  3. How did we develop the indicators? • Employed standard ETF methodology for indicators used in wider SBA • 8 experts (entrepreneurs, govt. officials, academics, civic society interest organisations): 2 days (21-22 April) • Experts from Jordan and Syria as observers initially • ETF facilitated, with support from UNDP • Decided themes based on most common critical problems • 2 intensive days, busy, enjoyable

  4. SBA Indicators for the pre-accession region The indicators focus on the following areas: • Policy and data for female entrepreneurship; • Training for female entrepreneurship; • Improved access to finance for women entrepreneurs; • Networking and good practice.

  5. Process for indicator development • Istanbul – 4 indicators • Translated, presentation and discussion back home, improvement recommendations to ETF • ETF gathered all feedback and revised the indicators • SBA Coordinators (economy, industry ministries), European Commission, ETF agree indicators in Madrid (1 June) • Part of broader SBA assessment (all countries): Oct 2010-Mar 2011

  6. SBA Policy Index Human capital development

  7. - • Each indicator • 5 level scale • cumulative • max 3-4 years M&E Review Improvement Implementation Break even point No system Ad hoc activities Dialogue, planning Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5

  8. Why this process is important • System approach, less project approach • Government policy in the spotlight, increased accountability • Simple stepping stones – development approach • Comparability – benchmarking • Good practice, learn from other countries in our region • Reinforces regional networking and cooperation • Donors may be interested in using indicators as instrument for programming • Opportunities for work with other regions e.g. Southern Mediterranean countries
