UNIFEM programme in entrepreneurship development for women: an experience from Lebanon

This paper describes a United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) project in Lebanon. This project is designed to provide the support needed by women who are trying to establish small and micro-enterprises in order to ameliorate the effects of war and economic crisis. The paper outlines the macro-economic conditions influencing such enterprises before turning to issues of training of trainers, the potential of women entrepreneurs and the process of responding to problems. The paper concludes by describing the empowerment plan 1999-2001 of UNIFEM, and the implications of the project for adult learning and the future of women's work. The volume of papers is indexed at TD/INT 58.500.
