Expert
For the past decade I have been involved in research which target the micro, small and medium firms with emphasis on Women Entrepreneurs. One such study focused on imparting financial education to owner-managers of small firms with the aim to better help them in the financial management practices. Another research has focused on the digital literacy of women entrepreneur to empower them in the use of e-banking tools. I was also involved in a project on Financial Literacy Experiment of WE funded by the UNDP. The project has developed some videos which the WEs can use at their own pace to learn.
