Improve Your Agri Business (IYAB) Training as a Pathway to Women’s Entrepreneurship in Agriculture

Discover the stories of women like Ashwak in Mouhamara, Siham in the Chouf, and Aisha in Bekaa, whose journeys show how inclusive business training and networks can translate skills into confidence, market access and leadership.

Women play a central role in Lebanon’s agriculture, yet their contributions often remain invisible and undervalued. This case study explores how the ILO BOUZOUR project funded by Sida is strengthening women’s entrepreneurship by embedding gender inclusion into agri-business management training and supporting women-led networks that foster learning, market access and leadership within agricultural value chains.
