Female entrepreneurship and the creation of artisanal micro-businesses in Senegal are essential elements of the economic and social landscape. Senegalese women have long played a vital role in the informal economy, particularly in the artisanal sector, where they often pass on traditional skills from generation to generation.The creation of artisanal micro-enterprises offers Senegalese women a route to economic autonomy, enabling them to generate an income for themselves and their families. These enterprises can range from textile dyeing to jewelry making, pottery and basketry, reflecting the diversity of craft skills present in Senegal.However, women craft entrepreneurs in Senegal often face unique challenges, including access to finance, vocational training and the market. Initiatives to support female entrepreneurship, such as micro-credit programs and business management training, play a crucial role in strengthening these businesses.
