Studies on women entrepreneurship have witnessed rapid growth over the past 30 years. The field is in an adolescence stage with a considerable number of journal articles, literature reviews, and books being published on women entrepreneurs. The article seeks to draw and shed light on the work of women in the community to set out an activity theory framework for the analysis of entrepreneurs engaged in the creation of new business ventures by women groups that are mediated through a range of strategies, initiating different business models implemented by women-led groups to ensure sustainable economic activities. Key stakeholders, women-led associations, corporate ventures, business development practitioners, civil society leaders, and local government officials are involved in brainstorming and discussion sessions to validate data and information.
