Published purpose
The project will empower women entrepreneurs, including refugees and women with disabilities, in the green economy across six high-poverty governorates. To do so, it will strengthen women-led micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in sectors like agriculture, energy, tourism, and transport by unlocking green finance, providing training, building business linkages, and promoting inclusive policies. To reduce gender-specific barriers, it will also foster safe workspaces, offer grants, childcare services, and awareness campaigns to challenge restrictive norms.
