We thank three anonymous reviewers for helpful comments, K. Yuki and V. Vargas Sejas for excellent research assistance, and L. Talon, L. Boileau, M. Adzodo, and K. Kounta for great support in the field. We gratefully acknowledge funding from IZA–Institute of Labor Economics, the Women’s Leadership in Small and Medium Enterprises trust fund, the Umbrella Facility for Gender Equality, and the World Bank’s Africa Gender Innovation Lab and Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice. We also acknowledge grant administration support from Innovations for Poverty Action. This project would not have been possible without the support of the Ministry of Commerce and of Private Sector Promotion of Togo, the Project Coordination Unit of the Private Sector Development Support Project (in particular, A. Kader Bawa and Y. Amegnizin), and the project’s partners [WAGES (Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and Social), FUCEC (Faîtière des Unités Coopératives d’Épargne et de Crédit du Togo), CECA (Cooperative d’Épargne et de Crédit des Artisans), APROMA (Action pour la Promotion du Monde Artisanal), DOSI (Delegation a l’Organisation du Secteur Informel), AFCET (Association des Femmes Chefs d’Entreprise du Togo), and CRM-Lome (Chambre Regionale de Metiers)]. Several of the authors work for the World Bank Group, but not directly for the International Finance Corporation, which produces the Business Edge training program being evaluated.
