About the Program

With funding from the Government of Canada and under the guidance and supervision of the United Nations Development Program within the framework of the Lebanon Host Comumunities Support Programme (LHSP), René Moawad Foundation is leading a consortium to implement the Women Economic Participation in North and Mount Lebanon (WEP) project.

The consortium includes RMW, Berytech Foundation, Digital Opportunity Trust Lebanon (DOT Lebanon), Atayeb El-Rif Association (AAR), and Committee for the Follow-up of Women’s Issue (CFUWI).

The objectives of the program are:

• To increase local awareness and support to women’s rights, notably economic empowerment and right to decent work
• To boost local recognition of women’s role in non-traditional economic development.
• To foster competences of local women, individuals and groups, to access the market based on competitiveness and innovation in selected value chains.
  • Agricultural value chains: oregano (wild and cultivated), friqeh, small ruminants, and honey.
  • Non-agricultural value chains: handcrafts, renewable energy, and information, communication technology (ICT).
