Lebanon Export Academy is the first-of-its-kind academy to equip Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and cooperatives in Lebanon with the needed know-how to scale up their operations and increase their readiness to export.
The academy offers in-person and online classes along with self-paced courses on various topics related to export readiness, including how to write an export plan, conduct market research, understand export documentation and legal requirements, set export prices, and find suitable financing options among other topics.
Lebanon Export Academy is implemented by UNIDO and UNDP under the joint UN – Productive Sectors Development Program (PSDP), that aims to support gender-responsive job creation and economic opportunities in the agriculture and agri-food sectors, prioritizing women and female youth in disadvantaged areas.
In the first phase of the launching, the courses will be provided to companies and entrepreneurs from the Agriculture and Agri-food sectors; however, at a later stage, courses will be accessible for companies in other productive sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, ICT and technology and media, and telecommunication.
