1 INF 3 August 2011 ENGLISH UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEE Policy Seminar on Women s Entrepreneurship Development in Central Asia 19 September 2011, 10:00 18:00 Room XI, Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland INFORMATION NOTICE Note by the Secretariat I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 1. The Beijing Platform for Action, adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, highlighted the importance of promoting women s economic rights and independence. It called on governments to ensure equal access to and control over economic resources for women and men and encouraged the provision of business services, training and access to information and communication technologies. The fifteen-year review of the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in 2009 highlighted important gender gaps in the economic realm. The Chairperson s Conclusions of the Beijing +15 Regional Review Meeting which took place on 2-3 November 2009 in Geneva therefore called for further efforts to strengthen women s situation and opportunities. 2. In line with these recommendations and the mandate of UNECE to focus on economic aspects of gender equality, activities since Beijing +15 have focused on enhancing women s economic independence, specifically through supporting women s entrepreneurship. With the financial support of the governments of Finland and Sweden, UNECE conducted two national assessments of the Business Environment for Women s Entrepreneurship Development in Tajikistan and Kazakhstan in 2010/2011. These studies serve as a basis for evidence-based recommendations to policy-makers and other stakeholders on the actions needed to facilitate women s entrepreneurship development in Central Asia. 3. The policy seminar on women s entrepreneurship development in Central Asia is organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme s Regional Office for Europe and CIS in Bratislava. It will provide the opportunity to present and discuss the key findings of the research and their policy implications. 4. Entrepreneurship is a key driver of growth and development prospects for all countries in Central Asia. Women play a crucial role in the labour force throughout the region. Women engaged in entrepreneurial activities, both as self-employed and as providers of additional employment opportunities, benefit society as a whole and thus contribute to sustainable development in their countries. The business environment for women entrepreneurs in this
2 region is shaped by the combined effects of economic transition to market-based economies and years of conflict in the recent past. Women entrepreneurs do not yet have a well developed infrastructure of support services at their disposal. They face particular challenges in the access to information, capital, markets and networks. By removing existing barriers to women s entrepreneurship development and providing support where it is needed, we can enable women to fulfil their potential to the benefit of all, through the creation of employment opportunities and wealth through their enterprises. Last but not least, women s economic empowerment is an important step towards the goal of achieving gender equality. It is a driving force for sustainable development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. II. OBJECTIVES 5. The key objectives of the seminar are to: 1. Disseminate the main findings of the national assessments of the business environment for women entrepreneurs in Central Asia 2. Take stock of policy initiatives and programmes aimed at promoting women s entrepreneurship in the region 3. Provide a platform for policy-oriented dialogue and exchange of experience between policy makers, business associations, international organisations and other stakeholders in Central Asia to review lessons learnt and to address the key challenges ahead III. THEMATIC FOCUS OF THE SEMINAR 6. Presentations and panel discussions will be organised in four thematic sessions: 1. The business environment for women and men entrepreneurs in Central Asia 2. Key challenges to women entrepreneurs in rural areas 3. Closing the gender gaps in entrepreneurship: support at the country level 4.

The first session on The business environment for women and men entrepreneurs in Central Asia will present the findings of national assessments of the business environment for women s entrepreneurship development in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). Presentations will point to the key gender gaps in entrepreneurship and highlight the areas in which further support is needed to boost women s entrepreneurship development. 8. The second session on Key challenges to women entrepreneurs in rural areas will give the floor to women s business associations to highlight the challenges for women entrepreneurs, particularly in rural areas, and to discuss how women s business associations can and are addressing these in the region. The session will take the form of an interactive panel discussion. 9. The third session on Closing the gender gaps in entrepreneurship: support at the country level will present successful projects and initiatives to strengthen women s entrepreneurship in rural areas in the region. It will take the form of an interactive panel discussion with business associations, policy makers, international organisations and technical cooperation agencies.
