The project began in June 2019 and concluded in March 2023. The specific objective was to support a minimum of 100 women entrepreneurs in registering and uploading their company and product profiles onto e-commerce platforms, thereby facilitating the growth of their businesses. The project aim was to enhance the knowledge and capacity of women entrepreneurs in the application of e-commerce platforms to expand their business, markets and participate in local, regional and global supply chains.
