Tunisia's regional committee for the economic integration of women in the agricultural sector has approved funding for 15 agricultural projects in the governorate of Manouba. The projects, which focus on sheep breeding and poultry farming, will benefit women from various delegations in the region. The committee's decision was made during a meeting chaired by the governor of Manouba, Mahmoud Chouieb, and attended by the regional delegate for women's affairs.
The approved projects are part of the National Program for the Economic Integration of Women in the Agricultural Sector, which aims to reduce economic and social vulnerability among women and girls working in the sector. The program provides funding for projects, with a maximum of 10,000 dinars per project, to help women establish a stable source of income and develop their resources. This initiative seeks to transition women from the informal to the formal sector.
The regional committee's decision is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of women in rural areas. By providing access to funding and resources, the program enables women to start and develop their own businesses, thereby improving their economic prospects. The program also includes measures to support and monitor the projects, ensuring their success and sustainability.
The Manouba region is not the only area benefiting from such initiatives. Similar programs are being implemented in other parts of Tunisia, including the governorates of Kasserine and Banzart. These programs aim to promote women's economic empowerment and provide them with opportunities to participate in the formal economy.
In addition to funding, the program provides training and support to women entrepreneurs. This includes guidance on business management, marketing, and access to finance. The program also seeks to raise awareness about the importance of women's economic integration and the benefits it can bring to families and communities.
The National Initiative to Unify the Path of Women's Entrepreneurship, launched by the Ministry of Women's Affairs, is another initiative aimed at promoting women's economic empowerment. The initiative provides support and resources to women entrepreneurs, helping them to turn their ideas into successful businesses.
According to the Ministry of Women's Affairs, the program has already made a positive impact on the lives of many women in Tunisia. The ministry is committed to continuing its efforts to promote women's economic integration and empowerment, and to providing the necessary support and resources to help women succeed in their endeavors.
