The Department of State has outlined the following specific objectives for the project:
- Provide examples of entrepreneurial efforts in the U.S, particularly those initiated by women;
- Illustrate the essential role of non-governmental and grassroots organizations in supporting and empowering the development of women-owned businesses;
- Highlight the social, economic, and political factors that influence and encourage the development of private enterprise in the U.S.; and
- Share “best practices” and “lessons learned” in establishing and expanding entrepreneurial endeavors and offer possibilities for mentorship.
