Luna Shamsuddoha empowered women by packaging public resources for support to SME’s and leveraging government policy of Digital Bangladesh.
As founder President of Bangladesh Women in Technology (BWIT) and Director of SME Foundation, I created a Project harnessing resources and talent to enhance the capacities of women who were initially accessed by the A2I Project of the Prime Minister’s Office.
I will be empowering 3000 IT based women-owned businesses and freelancers in every Union in rural Bangladesh by bringing together resource of the government; know-how of the SME organization and project of the PMO. The focus is on women and IT entrepreneurship only. Scope of their activities will increase. They will provide services to government and companies.
