Description:
This project aims to enhance economic empowerment and increase prosperity for low-income women and youth, particularly female youth, in the West Bank. The project seeks to achieve this by adopting a gender transformative approach to recognise, formalise, and amplify women’s existing roles in the agricultural sector. This focuses on the olive oil and agro-food processing value chains while promoting women’s increased decision-making and control over income, assets and productive resources. Project activities include: (1) conducting policy advocacy initiatives to address policy barriers to women's entrepreneurship; (2) providing entrepreneurship and business management training opportunities for women; (3) supporting access to sustainable financial solutions for women in women-led micro-small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and agricultural cooperatives; and (4) designing and implementing renewable energy placement programs for women and female youth apprentices or trainees, focusing on students and recent graduates.
