                                            Abstract
                                                   This report identifies best practices and provides policy guidance on how public policy can promote the participation of women entrepreneurs, women producers and women-led export firms in accessing market opportunities through trade agreements.  Specifically, the report: provides a brief overview of the evidence on gender and trade liberalization; identifies  key obstacles  that reduce the participation of women entrepreneurs, women producers and women-led export firms in accessing the market opportunities of free trade agreements; sets out global, regional and bilateral, best practices in promoting the participation of women entrepreneurs, women producers and women-led export firms in accessing the market opportunities of free trade agreements; and provides policy guidance to stakeholders in Peru and Colombia to further this agenda.
