Abstract
The study investigated determinants of financial performance in Mauritius as well as potential gender and age-based disparities with respect to generic factors that influence development of small and medium enterprises (SME). It also analyzes challenges and potential barriers that women and youth face in operating SMEs in the tourism sector. Findings point to the absence of gender disparity with respect to the generic factors influencing SME development, access to finance in general and the quality of institutional support provided. The Ugandan and Tanzanian teams visited Mauritius for the 3rd Technical workshop and for a study tour to learn more about the Mauritian case study.
