TunisiaLaunch of the EU-OECD Project for Women’s Economic Empowerment
14 November marked the end of the 2024 MENA-OECD Women’s Economic Empowerment Forum (#WEEF), a two-day event in Cairo chaired by Egypt and France.
For over 15 years, the WEEF has facilitated regional cooperation to enhance women’s access to economic opportunities through fostering partnerships between government and non-government representatives from MENA and OECD economies.
This year’s WEEF featured the official launch of the EU-OECD Regional Action for Women’s Economic Empowerment in the Southern Mediterranean (2024 – 2027) in 8 MENA countries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Tunisia).
This new project “Enhancing women entrepreneurs’ financial inclusion and access to finance in the Southern Mediterranean” aims to boost women’s economic empowerment by promoting an enabling policy and regulatory framework for women’s financial inclusion and access to finance, notably for women entrepreneurs. The project engages policy-makers, financial institutions as well as women entrepreneurs’ networks, fostering multi-stakeholders dialogue and peer-exchanges for policy and regulatory reforms.
