“I would advise women to stick with what you want to do.

Don’t be caught up with what you feel is ‘man’s work’. There is always a way around

the hurdles. Do your research, find out what help is offered and go after it!”

Lessons Learned about Women Exportersin Developing Countries

• Cultural challenges exist but vary from region to region

• Take small, steady steps, due to time and resource constraints

• Respond best to individual coaching which meets their specific needs

• All must work together to achieve success – governments, trade promotion organizations, business support organizations, donor agencies

• Women who are economically empowered, can make a positive impact on family health, education and overall economic well-being.
