Mercado Pago in alliance with Pro and Agora Partnerships presented the Effect, an initiative that seeks to promote the growth and development of women entrepreneurs in Mexico through two specific : Pro and Juntas . These programs aim to provide the knowledge, tools, educational resources and financing so that women who run SMEs in Mexico can enhance their leadership capacity and access instruments that allow them to grow their businesses. According to INEGI, 3 out of every 10 SMEs in the country are headed by women, while only 10% of them managed to access credit during 2020, so helping them access financing is key to boosting their economic growth.
