Various stakeholders were interviewed during the survey which included 500 women SME entrepreneurs, women centric business associations, relevant government organizations as well as other associated institutions. Given the lack of gender based assessments in access to credit for women SME entrepreneurs in Bangladesh, the survey report aimed at identifying the potential opportunities for facilitating finance to these entrepreneurs. This also involved developing comprehensive knowledge of the environment that women entrepreneurs operate in and in estimating their current financing gap. Alongside this, the study sought to highlight the major challenges faced by these entrepreneurs that prevent a satisfactory uptake of loan products. 2017-04-24T17:04:50Z 2017-04-24T17:04:50Z 2016 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/354971490957587126/Study-on-mapping-the-market-potential-and-accelerating-finance-for-women-entrepreneurs-in-Bangladesh http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26433 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank International Finance Corporation, Washington, D.C.
