Abstract: The last decade has seen a burgeoning of entrepreneurship support programs for women entrepreneurs which have gained traction and prominence as a means to create jobs and boost productivity at the national and regional levels. However, disparities in initial resource endowments of male—and female-led firms, sector sorting into low productivity activities, social norms, and institutional arrangements, constrain the growth of female-led enterprises. This note reviews the outcomes of programs supporting female growth entrepreneurs and draws lessons from available evidence to inform the design of more effective programs. The review shows that most programs are primarily geared toward microenterprises, making it difficult to draw conclusions about program design for growth-oriented entrepreneurs...........

Abstract: A l'époque coloniale, les Belges et les Anglais avaient jugé bon de protéger quelques zones africaines qui regorgent des merveilles qui peuvent permettre l'attraction touristique et la recherche scientifique autour du lac Edouard. Cependant, cette appréhension eut lieu mais sans tenir compte de la population qui y vivait. Or dans le monde entier, aucune politique environnementale ne peut se concevoir sans prendre en compte des aspects démographiques qui pèsent d'un poids décisif sur les relations entre leur entreprise et le cadre naturel et humain (Brounley, 1980). Ainsi, dans quelques parties de l'Afrique, l'explosion démographique engendre un déséquilibre entre les ressources naturelles et les besoins humains, car on ne peut pas faire la conservation de ces derniers sans tenir compte de la satisfaction des besoins
