MEDA’s Strengthening Small Business Value Chains (SSBVC) project aims to contribute to Tanzania’s economic growth and increase job creation by sustainably improving the business performance of women- and men-led small and growing businesses (SGBs), and women and men small entrepreneurs (SEs). The Gender Equality Assessment was carried out in the fourth year of the project to capture and measure gender equality (GE) impacts as a result of the project.
