The objective of the project is to empower women entrepreneurs and provide them with the tools and skills needed to grow profitable and sustainable businesses that are scalable and facilitate job creation. The four key objectives of the project are:

  • Increase enterprise development skills of 45 women entrepreneurs
  • Potential for business growth for 25 women increased through coaching and market linkages
  • Scale up businesses of 15 women through incubation and/or investment
  • Elevate women’s position in the Palestinian economy through public policy dialogue that highlights women’s leadership roles and potential in business.
