For instance, Ojong et al. suggest that 88.4% of papers focusing on female entrepreneurship in the current literature were published between 2007 and 2019 and that 50.3% of them were published in 2015. Also, significant amounts of money have been invested in the promotion and the development of female entrepreneurship in Africa by governments and international development agencies.en© 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis.
