Trainer for in person Capacity Building on Green Business Practices and Sustainable Business for Post-Conflict Recovery for Women-Led Businesses Training Sessions for 45 MSMEs in 3 different regions in Lebanon

About the Program:  

LLWB, in partnership with KAS (Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung), is conducting a multisectoral dialogue program aiming to empower women-led businesses across Lebanon with vital skills for launching and sustaining their businesses, while fostering financial independence and promoting sustainable practices within their ventures, to enhance their resilience and growth amid economic and security challenges. 

Objective:  

LLWB aims to empower 45 women-led MSMEs in the Beqaa, North, and Shouf across key sectors including Agriculture, Industry, Services, STEM, and Agri-food.

By supporting women-led MSMEs, LLWB contributes to post-conflict recovery and resilience-building, fostering economic stability in regions that have experienced social and economic disruptions. The program enhances livelihoods, promotes inclusive economic participation, and strengthens local value chains—key components of sustainable recovery in fragile settings. 

Through tailored training programs, including an intensive four-day capacity-building workshop fully covered by KAS, participants will develop essential business, technical, and leadership skills. This targeted support equips women entrepreneurs not only to sustain their businesses amid ongoing challenges but also to play an active role in community recovery, social cohesion, and long-term economic development
