Adopting a descriptive research design with a sample size of 120, the research findings suggest significant contributions of women in SMEs and education to poverty alleviation and economic empowerment in the region. The conclusion emphasizes that women&#8217;s economic empowerment is crucial for community economic development. Recommendations call for societal support for women in SMEs, government-backed skill acquisition programs, greater gender equality in employment, and female participation in politics.
