The objective of this research is to analyze the effects of gender difference and diversification of economic activities on the performance of very small, small, and medium size businesses (VSEs and SMEs) in the Republic of the Congo. This work is based on survey data conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (2017), by way of the census of very small, small and medium businesses and artisans (RTPMEA) in the Congo, and using the tobit model. The results obtained show, on the one hand, that the diversification of activities of VSEs and SMEs managed by men have a low probability of promoting the performance of VSEs and SMEs. On the other hand, the diversification of activities of VSEs and SMEs managed by women are insignificant and cannot have the chance to promote their performance. Thus, in general, the diversification of economical activities has had a negative impact on the performance of VSEs and SMEs in the Republic of Congo, despite the gender difference. To this end, economic policy implications are formulated.
