FB training program for ME women entrepreneurs

Facebook launched a special program (#SheMeansBusiness) to train women entrepreneurs on how to use their presence in social media to promote their businesses. Facebook wants to publish its global program in the MENA region to stimulate women to use FB and Instagram as platforms for their commercial activities. The program also seeks to celebrate the successes and contributions of enterprises owned by women in MENA and highlight the significant role of both FB and Instagram in supporting and empowering women to better communicate, participate and grow. #SheMeansBusiness- MENA is expected to conclude partnerships with a number of institutions in the UAE and Egypt for the training of some 10 thousand beneficiaries over the course of a year. Through a network of partners, the program will organize a series of workshops and training courses, as well as provide electronic resources to equip women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, connections and technology needed to build their companies via the internet.
