Women Entrepreneurship in Sudan

Chapter 7 in Environments for Women Entrepreneurship in North Africa, 2023, pp 131-146 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Since improvements in a political course during the past years, female entrepreneurship in Sudan has been on the rise. Nevertheless, due to the prevalent culture of patriarchy and discriminatory laws undermining equality of genders, women still face numerous constrains to the generation of human, social and financial capital. While men are considered the main drivers of national economic development, women’s potential to raise economic growth remains barely realised. To conclude, women are not accepted as equal economic actors in Sudan. Recent positive political changes place high hope for the enhancement of women’s position in the economic life of the country.
