comments:

Covid-19 response was possible to the flexibility of the project (donor and partners)

action_plan:

a. The project has already taken, in close collaboration with national partners in both countries, several actions in response to the COVID-19 crisis, as described in the following. b. Two surveys have been conducted in Egypt and Tunisia to collect data on the challenges women entrepreneurs have faced as a direct or indirect result of the crisis, and identify the support needed to help them overcome its negative impacts. c. i. The project has launched, with the support of the ILO WED department and based on the NCW request in Egypt, the digitalization process of the Get Ahead. ii. In the remaining part of the project’s life cycle, the project will continue to work on addressing the issues that resulted from the outbreak of Covid-19 on labour conditions and women access to the labour market, with particular focus on the informal economy.

title:

Elaborate a strategy for response to the COVID 19. a. Short-term planning for the remining part of the project with changes made b. Provide data on effects of the COVID crisis on women entrepreneurs, and women in precarious employment in Tunisia and Egypt. 38 c. Respond to the COVID crisis and to climate change, which is also high on the agenda and related to the COVID crisis in different ways. Initially, constraints relate to personal mobility, hygiene and social distancing: i. Get Ahead modules can be developed to incorporate these constraints and allow women entrepreneurs to continue operating. ii. More focus on occupational safety and health at the micro levels and the informal sector developed with local partners and supported by ILO experts, e.g. through Get Ahead training modules.
