Arab Women’s Entrepreneurship Project (AWEP)
Program Summary
Launched in 2011, the Arab Women’s Entrepreneurship Project (AWEP) is helping women to overcome barriers to their effective participation in the regional economy by providing access to training, mentoring, and other forms of support that enhance the chances that women participants in its programs will succeed as they start a new business or expand an existing one. By focusing on women from underserved backgrounds, the project seeks to help a greater number of the region’s women to realize their entrepreneurial goals and thereby enhance the region’s economic potential.
