Business Development Centre signing ceremony

Providing a range of services to women entrepreneurs

The centre is aimed at women who already own businesses and are struggling to expand or those who have the potential to become successful entrepreneurs but lack support to reach the next level. It serves as a one stop shop for business development, offering a range of practical support services.

Encouraging women's participation in the private sector

The centre helps women to become significant players in the economy, not only to support their families financially but also to support their communities. To this end, the centre provides quality business support services and valuable business networking opportunities. Encouraging women’s participation in the private sector and their ability to function successfully within a highly unstable economic system will contribute to the revitalisation of the Palestinian economy.
