The second edition of this award was launched in partnership with the Ministries of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, and of Solidarity, Social Development, Equality and the Family, the Higher School of Economics and Business (ESSEC), Afrique-Atlantique, Al Barid Bank and the Groupe Credit Agricole du Maroc, according to a UNFM press release.
According to the same source, this entrepreneurial program, whose intensive training sessions (face-to-face and distance learning) are spread over four months around several areas including business personality, creative capacity building and personal development, aims to recompose the best initiatives of young women (aged between 20 and 40) from rural and peri-urban areas across the Kingdom.
This program is part of the UNFM's action plan for the next five years to enable a group of young Moroccan women to acquire tools in the academic, financial and technical fields, allowing them to put their ideas and innovative projects into practice in rural and peri-urban areas and thus improve the living conditions of the poor population.
