AI Toolkit for Women-led Businesses: Practical AI guidance for the export journey
This toolkit helps women-led small businesses identify where artificial intelligence (AI) adds value to trade. It draws on a survey of 155 women entrepreneurs across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, plus a pilot in Viet Nam. Most already use AI, with concerns centred on data privacy, cost, and online fraud.
The toolkit uses a traffic-light system to show where AI adds value, where its output needs checking, and where decisions remain with the entrepreneur. It builds skills from structured prompting to supervised automation and includes a self-assessment, prompts, guides, a tool catalogue, and worksheets for piloting tools.
