The Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) supports women entrepreneurs by expandingaccess to financial products and services, strengthening their businesscapabilities, broadening networks, connecting them with mentors, and creatingopportunities to participate in domestic and global markets. In Rwanda, the We-Fi project aims to increase accessto tailored financial products and services for women-led micro, small, andmedium enterprises (WMSMEs). As part of its product development component, We-Fi is engaging with financial service providers in Rwanda to enhance the designof new financial solutions specifically targeted at women entrepreneurs. To ensure that new and existing offerings adequatelyresponds to the diverse realities of women-led enterprises, We-Fi recognizesthat WMSMEs are not a homogeneous group. Women entrepreneurs operate across awide range of sectors, business sizes, and growth stages; they differ in theirdigital capabilities, network support, household responsibilities, motivations, financial behaviors, and risk profiles. Yet existing data in Rwanda provideslimited insight into these distinct segments and their corresponding financialand non-financial needs. A gender-smart segmentation and market scopingexercise—paired with direct engagement through focus groups and interviews—istherefore required to surface actionable insights that will inform productdesign. The resulting evidence will support financial service providers indeveloping customer-centric offerings, strengthen the broader We-Fi program, and help Rwanda-s financial ecosystem better tailor services to womenentrepreneurs.
