ABOUT FAME
Our Mission
The Feminist African Manifesto for Entrepreneurship is a project born of the well-documented need for policies, policymakers and policymaking processes to work better for African women founders to thrive. Based on the experiences of African women, FAME is an early-stage framework to support policymakers’ mainstream gender into African entrepreneurship policies. It calls for shifts in government approaches and entrenched social norms to accomplish Africa’s full entrepreneurship potential
FAME stemmed from the knowledge that African women entrepreneurs are underrepresented and inadequately supported in start-up and entrepreneurship policies. It contributes to the growing recognition of the importance of feminist perspectives and approaches, new understandings, collaborations and pathways in policy development and the growth of inclusive, sustainable and equitable entrepreneurial ecosystems.
