Mentoring programmes have been recognised as critical in fostering economic growth among various populations globally. In particular, female agricultural innovators represent a significant segment within Senegalese communities that could benefit from such interventions. This theoretical framework article employs a systematic review approach to integrate existing literature on mentoring programmes, female agricultural innovation, and economic development in African contexts. The theoretical model developed in this article provides a robust framework for understanding the impact of mentoring programmes on economic growth among female agricultural innovators in Senegalese communities. This model offers guidance for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance these initiatives. Policymakers should prioritise funding for mentorship programmes targeting female agricultural innovators, while also advocating for policy changes that address the socio-economic barriers faced by this population.
