"Women's digital businesses are making history and creating a whole universe of possibilities for women's economic empowerment to leverage the digital world.”

"I am very proud that we were able to reach nearly 2,000 women-business owners in the first fours months after launch of the SheMeansBusiness Program in Senegal. In addition to training these women, this programme connects and reveals extraordinary projects of hard-working women. They are aware that digital is a very powerful resilience asset. I look forward to continuing to impact these women-business owners through Facebook."

"Bayan Academy's partnership with Facebook strengthens its resolve in democratizing social development technologies in the Philippines as a way to build the nation from below, reaching and empowering many of the disadvantaged and vulnerable including the micro and small entrepreneurs through the use of technology.

"This project gives space to the life stories of women entrepreneurs who, through their stories, teach us that nothing is impossible when there is determination and love in what is done. Thanks to platforms like Facebook, today we can generate and strengthen the community of women entrepreneurs in this digital age, supporting each other, sharing different ideas and joining in a common goal: to reach new achievements for the satisfaction of our loved ones.... Strength and talent are not unique to a genre, making women a fundamental part of the country's economic recovery. Women don't need favors, just equal opportunities... it is we, women of Mexico, who will overcome the circumstances by adding character and capacity to new digital tools."

"The Facebook – Siyafunda Community Technology Centre partnership since 2019 has empowered and greatly enhanced the capacity and growth of over 12,000 women-owned-businesses in rural and urban townships of South Africa through the SheMeansBusiness Digital Marketing Skills Program."

"Financial literacy is important in many parts of life, for the SMBs and even personally for me in the government during this difficult time. Thank you Facebook for investing its resources and is very committed on this program."

“She Means Business is a program that seeks to promote digital transformation and equity in everything that has to do with financial inclusion. They are two central axes with which we have been working from the ministry, from the Pyme Secretariat. We believe that a productive policy needs to be a policy that transforms and generates an added value process from companies. That integrates an environmental dimension, that it is federal and that encompasses gender equity as one of its main vectors."

“Empowering women entrepreneurs with digital marketing skills across 9 provinces in South Africa during COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 proved how powerful digital platforms can be leveraged during a pandemic crisis. Our Partnership with FaceBook Africa and Siyafunda demonstrated the need to continuously explore the potential of technology to reach huge numbers and empower women with necessary skills to sustain their businesses."

"Thank you WISE, thank you Facebook for organizing the online festival and for giving me the opportunity to attend today. It can be said that this is a very meaningful initiative of FB and WISE, especially in the current context of COVID 19 when the pandemic poses significant challenges to socio-economic activities in general as well as activities. activities of the female business community in particular."

“USAID SMEA’s partnership with Facebook has been one of the most fruitful collaborations for the project in 2020, especially during COVID-19. Where SMEs and women-led businesses in particular were facing extreme circumstances and so many were on the verge of closing down, pushing these female entrepreneurs to understand and utilize free online marketing tools to generate sales through social media created some real and immediate impact. Moreover, the turnout that #SheMeansBusiness has seen has also been an exciting phenomenon to witness, keeping in perspective how generally traditional WLBs from across Pakistan with connectivity issues and lack of exposure to technology have constantly pushed themselves to come online, attend these sessions, and then also demand similar future trainings from USAID SMEA. With the impact that we have been able to achieve so far, we are hopeful that we will successfully keep engaging new WLBs and re-engaging existing beneficiaries so that they can continue to grow their businesses in 2021.”
