    South Asia Women’s Entrepreneurship Symposium: Accelerating Women’s Entrepreneurship in Bangladesh

    Foundation, The Asia | October 2015
    Abstract
    From September 2012 through October 2015, The Asia Foundation implemented an innovative South Asia regional program to advance women’s entrepreneurship. This program, supported by the U.S. Department of State, advanced the U.S. Government’s “New Silk Road” goals of enhanced regional economic integration and increased trade across South and Central Asia. The program built directly on the DOS 2012 South Asia Women’s Entrepreneurship Symposium (SAWES), and was implemented in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with engagement from the Maldives, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Myanmar.
