The International Finance Cooperation (IFC), an advisory institution part of the World Bank Group, launched in late December funding and sponsorship to support women-led startups across North Africa and the Middle East region (MENA).Named “She Wins Arabia,” the program aims to provide training, guidance, a supportive structure for women-led startups, as well as assistance to startups to gain access to investment and seize growth opportunities.
Through the initiative, the ICF also aims to enhance the region’s startup ecosystem and to mediate between business makers and private equity funds, and venture capitals.
The initiative was brought to life by international stakeholders including IFC, and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial center. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Dutch government and the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), a Non-Governmental Organization.
Extending to Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, the UAE, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen, She WINS Arabia sets out ambitious objectives to boost the know-how of women-led businesses across the Arab world.
