Benefiting Member States
Guinea
This project aims to contribute to the economic and social empowerment of low income women in selected regions of Guinea. This will be achieved through the provision of micro-enterprise development support in both technical and material terms. Women of the Guinea diaspora in the ECOWAS region will be mobilized to deliver training to selected beneficiaries, and low interest loans will be made available to the participants through sub-contracted local micro-credit institution. A total of 30 women will be identified and selected from various regions of the country. Following an intensive course to be delivered by skilled expatriate Guinean women in the creation and management of micro-enterprises, the beneficiaries will proceed to develop business proposals for funding consideration by the project's micro-credit fund. Additionally, the project will help strengthen linkages among women's groups living in Guinea and Guinean women in the diaspora.
