What is it about?
Networking is important for information gathering of women entrepreneurs, but this issue has been overlooked in developing nations. This research reveals the nature and dynamics of informal and formal networks of women business-owners in Bangladesh for accessing bank loans information regarding a development programme.

Why is it important?
While we know little about women business-owners’ networking in developing nations, this research enriches the understanding on this issue. It also provides valuable suggestions for policy practitioners to empower women through development programmes.
Perspectives
I consider that this research explains how the experiences of women business-owners of a developing nation is different from that of the well-researched areas of the world, i.e. Western developed nations. The readers will get interesting views regarding women in the small business sector of this less known area.
