      abstract = {Rural women entrepreneurs in Uganda continue to face  multiple challenges that impede their enterprise growth and  expansion, despite pragmatic interventions from government  and non-state actors to enhance entrepreneurship. Uganda’s  female managed nonfarm household enterprises continue to be  micro, informal and face bottlenecks to access high credit  to grow their business as they do not have the necessary  collateral that formal credit institutions demand. Hence,  many resort to borrowing from locally managed community or  village credit associations to start or grow their  businesses and yet, these financing mechanisms are limited.  The Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP) should  therefore ensure that the distribution of funds is  equitable taking into consideration the heterogeneities  across spatial areas, region, education level and size of  business enterprise.},
