Methanex Egypt, ILO help Damietta women grow small businesses

Methanex Egypt, ILO help Damietta women grow small businesses: Methanex Egypt provided entrepreneurial training sessions for 108 women in Damietta as part of the GET Ahead for Women initiative, the local arm of the global methanol producer said. In collaboration with the International Labor Organization Cairo and the National Council for Women, the trainings focused on ways women can expand and grow their already operating businesses as well as business management training to help them develop a successful business model and plan. The one-month training program also included risk management and problem-solving classes for women who ran businesses in the past, but were forced to shut down in the face of obstacles. Participants also brainstormed ideas of how to tackle challenges in customer service, finance and logistics. (watch, runtime: 6:01)
