ABSTRACT

The research looked at the link between institutional financing and the growth of women’s entrepreneurship. Institutional finance and entrepreneurial development have had a long-term steady link. The evolution of entrepreneurship was largely influenced by institutional financing. The first-generation entrepreneurs who took use of institutional finance have fared well as successful businesspeople. Given the facts, the government of Botswana has established a number of programs and schemes aimed at strengthening the links between institutional finance and women's entrepreneurial growth by increasing institutional finance's efficiency. As a result, the research demonstrated the importance of institutional financing in the growth of women’s entrepreneurship.
