This review evaluates the existing experimental and quasi-experimental interventions aimed at supporting women entrepreneurs in developing countries. It highlights the pressing need for more evidence and impact evaluations to enhance understanding of effective strategies. The findings indicate that while women-led microfirms are crucial for economic development, they often struggle due to limited access to credit and lack of business knowledge. The report serves as a resource for researchers and project managers to improve future studies and initiatives focusing on women's economic empowerment.
