The training aims to develop business management skills of the targeted women, their entrepreneurial personality traits, and encourage them to start their own micro-enterprises.

The training also included many important topics such as financial awareness, project marketing, pricing, financing and project management.

It is worth noting that the “Addressing the Economic Drivers of Irregular Migration” project aims to promote alternatives to irregular migration through promoting enterprise development and work opportunities for women and youth in Beheira, Gharbia, Luxor and Minya Governorates, in addition to implementing awareness-raising activities to highlight the risks of irregular migration based on the previous efforts.
