Women entrepreneurs received training in managing their business

The Training was conducted in Mogadishu to assist Women Entrepreneur Associations (WEAs) to manage and improve their associations.

The Training: -

• Created awareness regarding gender inequalities faced by the diversity of women entrepreneurs, including women entrepreneurs with disabilities, and suggested ways of addressing these challenges through the creation of gender sensitive services in WEAs.
• Ensured that women entrepreneurs have greater access to representation and voice in their business affairs and in influencing the policies and decision that affect them.
