Case study

Promoting gender inclusivity through private sector development

Private Enterprise Programme in Zambia (PEPZ) case study

As PEPZ comes to an end, this case study looks at the work undertaken to promote women’s economic empowerment through the programme in order to:

  • Identify the challenges that women-owned businesses in Zambia face
  • Determine if the interventions PEPZ delivered to these women-owned enterprises led to aspects of increased inclusivity
  • Identify gaps and learnings on how PEPZ can improve its programming in approaching inclusivity for future intervention design of subsequent PEPZ

This case study builds on PEPZ internal knowledge and a series of key informant interviews undertaken with PEPZ grantees during the month of November 2019.
