Opportunity Information: Apply for NEAPI 09 CA 019 MENA 102909
The Youth Entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa Program provides a grant opportunity aimed at fostering youth entrepreneurship in the region. This initiative, launched by the Office of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (NEA/PI), highlights the importance of engaging young people by offering them economic opportunities and promoting innovation, as emphasized by President Obama in his prior addresses.
The program seeks projects that stimulate a culture of entrepreneurship among youth aged 16 to 35. Applicants are encouraged to explore various aspects such as skill-building, business incubation, access to capital, and the creation of entrepreneurial networks. The goal is to improve business development, create sustainable jobs, and connect stakeholders across the region.
Projects should focus on enhancing opportunities in different economic contexts, especially in areas lacking strong entrepreneurial traditions. Applicants must demonstrate an understanding of the region's economic challenges and propose measurable outcomes related to job creation and business growth. Collaborative efforts with local organizations and cost-sharing strategies are highly encouraged to ensure sustainability beyond the initial funding period.
Eligible countries for project consideration include Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE, and Yemen.Apply for NEAPI 09 CA 019 MENA 102909
