The ILO has an excellent relationship with NCW which has been reinforced during Covid 19 The former NOB of the project in Tunisia was appointed Minister of Women

action_plan:

a. The project has already considered its strategy under outcome 2 (Enabling Environment for Women Entrepreneurship Development). The revision of the outputs was based on discussions with, and requests from, national partners in the two countries where it was proposed to focus further on Get Ahead trainings at the expense of studies. The proposal was discussed with the donor and is pending their official approval. Once approved, the M&E plan could be updated reflecting the updated indicators. b. This is on track. The NCW has gained ownership of Get Ahead to a large extent as they have rolled out trainings independently of the project and the ILO overall in Siwa, Giza and Alexandria. c. The project, in collaboration with other ILO projects from across the region and ILO’s ENTERPRISES Department has been working on developing the online version of Get Ahead, the need for which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis. The online tool will be an opportunity to address this recommendation by ensuring wider cooperation and accessibility. It will also be based on the updated curricula of Get Ahead, which includes elements on human and environmental sustainability.

title:

Revisit the project strategy on women entrepreneurship: a. If the objective is to achieve results on women’s entrepreneurship, decide how, for how many and in which areas 37 b. If the objective is to build the capacity within the NCW to carry out Get Ahead training, state the expected number of trainers, how many will be certified, and how to support the trainers. c. Explore wider cooperation and funding of the Get Ahead. The Get Ahead is relevant, there are opportunities to work with women’s entrepreneurship in both Tunisia and Egypt, and more ILO technical expertise is available from both the Decent Work team in Cairo and from ILO Geneva to support. Issues could include further adaptation to local needs and local human and environmental sustainability issues.
