General
Le projet « Autonomisation économique des femmes par la promotion des entreprises dirigées par elles au Liban » vise à améliorer la sécurité économique, la stabilité et la prospérité de 1 200 micro, petites et moyennes entreprises (MPME) et entrepreneurs dirigés par des femmes dans des secteurs productifs à fort potentiel de croissance et d'exportation au Liban. Le projet cherche à atteindre cet objectif en améliorant l'environnement favorable aux entreprises en renforçant les capacités et les procédures des institutions publiques et privées afin de mieux servir et promouvoir les entreprises dirigées par des femmes. Il cherche à améliorer la disponibilité des financements et des instruments financiers connexes par le biais de subventions de contrepartie, d'un système de fonds d'actions et d'une plateforme numérique de mise en relation d'affaires tenant compte des spécificités de chaque sexe. Il se concentre sur l'amélioration de l'accès des agences d'entreprises dirigées par des femmes aux produits financiers et sur l'engagement sur les marchés locaux et internationaux en renforçant leurs compétences financières, commerciales, d'investissement et de préparation à l'exportation.
The Women’s Economic Empowerment Through Advancing Women-Led Enterprises in Lebanon project aims to improve the economic security, stability, and prosperity of 1,200 women-led micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurs in productive sectors with high growth and export potentials in Lebanon. The project seeks to achieve this by improving the business-enabling environment by strengthening the capacities and procedures of public and private institutions to better serve and promote women-led businesses. It seeks to improve funding availability and related financial instruments through matching grants, an equity fund scheme and a gender-sensitive digital business matchmaking platform. It focuses on improving women-led business’ agencies’ access to financial products and engage with local and international markets by strengthening their financial, business, investment and export readiness skills.
