The project “Women on the Green Path” (WGP) aims to promote women’s economic empowerment in the green and circular economy in The Mediterranean region. The green and circular economy has become a significant focus in the region, with the potential to drive sustainable development and climate resilience. However, several challenges hinder the full participation of women in this sector, including lack of resources, limited access to funding, and prevailing negative social norms.

The project is implemented in Tunisia, Jordan, and Morocco, focusing on building the capacities of organizations supporting women entrepreneurs, enhancing their role in driving sustainable growth, and advocating for gender equality in the transition to a green economy. WGP supports policy engagement, capacity building, and technical assistance for women entrepreneurs and MSMEs working in green sectors, contributing to inclusive and sustainable economic development in the region.

Objective of the Call:

The objective of this call for applications is to identify and select 45 representatives of Business Support Organizations (BSOs) in Tunisia, Jordan, and Morocco (15 per country) to participate in a Training of Trainers (ToT) program under the Women on the Green Path (WGP) project.

This training will enhance the capacity of BSOs to integrate gender-responsive approaches and sustainable practices into their support services for women entrepreneurs. The programme aims to equip BSOs with the necessary tools, knowledge, and methodologies to promote the green and circular economy, ensuring that women-led businesses are at the forefront of sustainable development in the region. Through this initiative, BSOs will be empowered to coach and mentor women entrepreneurs, contributing to both gender equality and environmental sustainability in their countries.
