Digitization mentorship to empower displaced entrepreneurs
Challenge
Over the past nine years, Yemen’s Marib Governorate has hosted 1.8 million internally displaced people – amounting to 90% of its population. Marib’s business growth remains the slowest in the country, and those who have experienced displacement often struggle to find livelihoods opportunities.
Solution
Empower entrepreneurs in Marib through a comprehensive programme that aims to enhance their business management skills and increase their confidence with digital tools, via structured support and financial grants.
Impact
Strengthened self-reliance for internally displaced entrepreneurs. The project will equip 200 individuals with essential digital and entrepreneurial skills, while more than 60 will receive structured mentorship to develop and refine their business ideas. Around 20 will be supported with financial grants or start-up kits, and more than 60 will be connected to funding opportunities.
