E-commerce and Women
Entrepreneurship Promotion
E-commerce Definition:
–Any use of information and
communications technology by a
business that helps to improve its
interactions with customers or
suppliers.
The definition encompasses both domestic and
international business. SME’s may find
beneficial ways to use e-commerce to enhance
relationships with their domestic customers and
suppliers as well as internationally.
Creating class of women
entrepreneurs
One of the most powerful applications of ICT in the
domain of knowledge networking is electronic
commerce. Electronic commerce refers not just to selling
of products and services online but to the promotion of a
new class of ICT-savvy women entrepreneurs in both
rural and urban areas.
Women over time have learnt the advantages offered by
ICT and its potential in opening up windows to the
outside world. This has put them in a greater control over
the activities performed by them- laying the foundation
for entrepreneurship development
Potential Gains from eCommerce

obstacle
facing
women

ICT
is
crucial for marketing of

ICT Benefit For Women Owners Of
SMEs
E-commerce may offer them comparatively more
advantages to find new customers and suppliers
especially in markets they have not easily been able to
reach before – either internationally or regionally.
Access to Information:
– The most valuable application is information accessing to
facilitate their business and generating and disseminating
information about it. Women entrepreneurs globally have said
that access to information, especially market information, is their
first priority in accelerating the growth of their businesses5.
Marketing Via The Web
What can we do as Business
Women Organizations in this
aspect?
E-Marketing
During the 2nd Pan AfroArab Congress of
Business and Professional Women held in
Cairo, April, 2003, it was recommended to
establish an E-Catalogue gathering the
products and services of women
entrepreneurs in the Arab World and Africa
to achieve economic integration in the
region and open international markets
which acts as a marketing tool to empower
women economically.

During a Brain storming session in Addis
Ababa with his Excellency President Alpha
Conare, President of the African Union
Commission. The issue of Economic
Women Empowerment was addressed,
and E-marketing was a crucial factor for
the support of women owners of Small &
Medium Enterprises in Africa to achieve
economic integration in Africa and open
new market for the African Continent.
Hence the African Union is starting, in
collaboration with the Egyptian
Business Women Association and
The African Society of Economic

marketing African products via the
