In the framework of the project ”European Union for Private Sector in Libya (EU4PSL)”, funded by the European Union, 12 Libyan female entrepreneurs across Libya were awarded a prize of 5000 euros each at the awards ceremony “Women Female Entrepreneurs Contest” held in Tunis.

In total, 30 women from all regions of Libya participated in the contest, with innovative and creative business ideas. The winning business ideas cover organic foods, ceramics, waste management, photography, services, dental prothesis, organic soaps and finally paramedical assistance.

The contest took place in the context of EUPSL’s component on supporting women’s economic empowerment in Libya, with a set of activities including capacity building, mentoring and seed funding.

The 30 participants of this event will continue to benefit from a one full year of capacity building.
