Project context

CLI explored stakeholder engagement for empowering women economically and politically in the MENA region with the team from GIZ’s WoMENA regional project. For the first time, all project team members from Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine came together to discuss the demands of balancing regional and national activities, navigating the differences and commonalities across the region, and developing engagement strategies on a topic that is both sensitive and paramount for true sustainable development of any country.
