4.0 The state of women’s enterprises in Tanzania: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Currently, there is no comprehensive data on the number of women in the MSME sector, the size of their enterprises, or their distribution by sector. Only proxies are available.

By 1995, it was estimated that the proportion of women in the sector could have risen to 70 per cent of the informal sector labour force. In a 2000 Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) study, 55 per cent of the enterprises in the sample were owned by women (as reported in Mlingi, 2000, p. 89). Swisscontact (2003) estimated that women owned 43 per cent of MSEs.

Social Media Complaints Are Rare But How Should You Deal With Them When They Occur?
Although following a brand on social networks like Facebook or Twitter is now commonplace across the world, last week it was widely reported that very few customers make complaints to these companies through the social channels that are available.

Social Divide…When a Tree Falls in the Forest
Businesses are investing heavily in social media. It's where all of the action is. But is it where all the money is at?
