Abstract
The More Young Entrepreneurs in Silk and Honey (MOYESH) project is a partnership between the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (www.icipe.org), and the Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works. The five-year initiative aims to see 100,000 young men and women in Ethiopia secure dignified and fulfilling work along honey and silk value chains. The stories in this case study illustrate how these enterprises are enabling women to gain legitimacy as entrepreneurs. They also stand as a testament of women as a symbol of hope, courage and determination, and an integral part of sustainable development.
