The Conference presents the role of Arab & African women in enhancing industrial development and aims to support them in business establishment and export oriented industries for small and medium enterprises.
Due to the lack of women’s participation in economic development in Arab and African countries, the conference will stress the need to change legislation to empower women’s role by creating partnerships between government and non-government organizations to set strategies and establish mechanisms to reach women from various walks of life.
The Conference highlights policies that empower women by providing technical support, training and banking services such as flexible loans, government support of emerging sectors in the labor market and protection of women from exploitation.
The Conference also sheds light on economic empowerment efforts to improve Arab & African women’s ability to access business experts, capacity building and on the job training centers in the industrial sector. Additionally, the conference addresses the prospects for cooperation between Arab and African businesswomen through partnerships and collaboration. The conference will also share successful experiences of Arab and African countries in the field of women’s economic empowerment.
The conference is a great platform from which to lead the way in empowering women in business.
