Kenya rides on the wheels of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). 90 percent of businesses in the country are said to be SMEs. These businesses employ 86 percent of the Kenyan population and contribute above 40 percent to the country’s gross domestic product.
Most of these businesses are owned by women, unfortunately, categorized as “informal” since most of them have not been formalized. Running an informal business has its share of challenges with the main one being the inability to get loans from reputable commercial banks.
What is more, according to the Economics Kenya Labour Force Report 2022, women form 49.7 percent of Kenya’s total labor force, makeup 50.3 percent of Kenya’s total population, and 40 percent of micro and formal SMEs are owned by women.
