During these first 3 months we have accompanied and supported the Artisan Women Social
Enterprises (ESMAS) in the region of Los Altos de Chiapas.
We focused specifically on these 3 ESMAS so that they could carry out the balance sheet and
income statement of their funds for source materials, which where provided in 2016 as a strategy
for strengthening the supply chain, and as an alternative for income generation so that the ESMAS
can walk towards their sustainability.
The Binational Network has accounting system designed and adapted to cover the specific needs
of the ESMAS. It is a methodology that has been built in order to allow artisans to monitor and
control the financial transactions and overall movements of the funds in their enterprises.
For the Network, the transfer of knowledge is critical to empowering the artisans. This is done
through participatory methodologies, with a gender perspective, which allows to asses and
recognize knowledge exchange between all parties.
