The Tunisian Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood and Seniors organized a two-day intensive training session in Hammamet on September 19-20. The session targeted heads of women's and family affairs departments from various governorates across the country. The training focused on implementing the national women's entrepreneurship and investment program, "Raidat." This initiative aims to promote women's participation in entrepreneurship and improve the quality of guidance, counseling, and support services.

The "Raidat" program seeks to stimulate regional delegations' contributions to promoting women's and young girls' entrepreneurship. The program also aims to enhance the quality of services offered to women and young girls who wish to launch their own projects. According to the Ministry, this session is part of its efforts to develop the skills of women's and family affairs officials. This will enable them to provide better support to women and young girls in entrepreneurship.

The training session covered various topics, including the different opportunities offered by partners, procedures, and steps for implementing the "Raidat" program. The program guides participants from the initial idea to project implementation, including dossier study and accompaniment of promoters. Representatives from Enda Arab Finance, Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité (BTS), Banque Nationale Agricole (BNA), and Banque de Financement des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (BFPME) participated in the training.

The session was held at the Hammamet Children's Vacation and Leisure Center. This initiative demonstrates the Ministry's commitment to investing in the development of women's and family affairs officials' skills. The goal is to optimize the quality of interventions and services offered to women and young girls who want to launch their own projects.

The Ministry's efforts focus on supporting women's contribution to development, employment, and wealth creation. The "Raidat" program is a key initiative in this regard. By providing training and support, the program enables women and young girls to turn their ideas into successful projects.

The intensive training session is part of the Ministry's broader strategy to promote women's entrepreneurship. This strategy involves collaboration with various partners, including financial institutions and organizations. The goal is to create a supportive ecosystem for women and young girls to launch and grow their businesses.

The success of the "Raidat" program will be measured by its impact on women's entrepreneurship in Tunisia. The program's effectiveness will be evaluated based on the number of women and young girls who launch their own projects and the growth of these businesses. The Ministry's commitment to investing in women's skills and providing support services will be crucial to the program's success.
