Academy for Women Entrepreneurs

closed

The U.S. Embassy in Amman announces an open competition for not-for-profit organizations registered in Jordan or the U.S. to submit applications to carry out a program to organize the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs program.  Please follow all instructions in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. The objective of the proposed inaugural Academy for Women Entrepreneurs program in Jordan is to drive inclusive economic growth and build the capacity of 24 women-led and owned experiential tourism businesses.  The program will focus on growing participants’ business offerings and expanding their ability to promote sustainable and community-led experiential tourism (particularly in the eco-tourism and adventure tourism).  It aims to achieve this by incubating 12 existing experiential tourism small businesses and 12 emerging experiential tourism small businesses through a tailored six-month program that targets a total of 24 women entrepreneurs from 12 governorates and utilizes a Training of Trainers (TOT) capacity building model.
