The European Bank for Reconstruction & Development (EBRD) announced Wednesday the extension of its program “Women in Business” in Morocco to the region of Tangier, Tétouan-Al Hoceima and Oriental in the north of the country. The EBRD’s Women in Business program receives important support from the European Union under the EU Initiative for Financial Inclusion which is delivering crucial funding for guarantees to EBRD partner banks and advisory services for banks and women entrepreneurs. Marking the beginning of the implementation phase of the program in Tangier, EBRD Director for Morocco, Marie-Alexandra Veilleux-Laborie, said: “This program has the potential to make a major impact in Morocco. The program aims to reach at least 200 women entrepreneurs in Morocco in its initial phase through financing and advisory services. The training and mentoring allow women entrepreneurs to share experiences and learn from each other.
