Abstract

This In Brief discusses problems with encouraging entrepreneurialism as a way to solve poverty and reports on what rural women believe will improve their livelihood — specifically co-operatives, asset-based approaches and sustainable partnerships. It is based on interviews conducted with women from Menyamya District in Morobe Province, October 2015.
