This appreciation of risk could be owing to<br />

the fact that ALU has attracted students who<br />

are keen on entrepreneurship and has<br />

created a supportive environment where they<br />

can thrive. A student in one of our focus<br />

group discussion affirms this:<br />

“The fact that ALU encourages<br />

entrepreneurship is one of the major reasons<br />

that made me decide to come here’’.<br />

Key Next Steps<br />

To keep up the momentum of entrepreneurship<br />

within ALU, programs such as the SVP are<br />

invaluable. The gender parity achieved in ALU’s<br />

entrepreneurial ecosystem is of a fortunate<br />

serendipity rather than the result of deliberate<br />

action. As such, it is recommended that SVP<br />

actively measures and monitors the gender<br />

composition of participants in the program as it<br />

scales up. Furthermore, SVP experience feedback<br />

surveys should be analysed with a gender lense<br />

to proactively identify any disparities.<br />
