Program Summary

The HSBC Financial and Entrepreneurship Awareness (FEA) Program was designed to provide young Arab women the opportunity to develop skills that will help them realize their career aspirations in business and finance. Funded by international banking giant HSBC and administered by AMIDEAST in partnership with Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, the program addressed the need among young Arab women to acquire skills that enhance their employability, thereby meeting a vitally important goal in a region with extremely high rates of unemployment among women. 

Main Goals

• Support the career goals of young Arab women seeking careers in finance and entrepreneurship

• Provide short-term skills training in business and entrepreneurship basics that complement participants’ university-level studies, with a focus on activities that provide hands-on exposure to the realities of business, finance, and entrepreneurship activities

• Build the business, leadership, and financial management skills of young women to prepare them to be business-owners and contribute to broader economic gains for the region

Program Summary

The Bicommunal Support Program (BSP) was established in 2000 as part of the U.S. effort to assist Cyprus in finding a reasonable and practical federal solution to the Cyprus problem through activities that bring together the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities. AMIDEAST administers the BSP on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus. The goal of the program is to encourage cooperation between Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot professionals, students, and community leaders through bicommunal activities that encourage the participants to work together to break down barriers and find practical solutions to island-wide concerns.

Main Goals

• Create opportunities for island-wide collaborations between the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities

• Foster sustainable island-wide networks for leaders, students, and professionals active in bicommunal efforts

• Develop a cadre of trained individuals from both communities who can make positive contributions to Cyprus’s development 

Highlights

Recent BSP activities include:

• The Jazz Futures Program uses music to promote collaboration and dialogue through jazz workshops and jam sessions which are held regularly in the UN-controlled Buffer Zone and at clubs within the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities.
