The UNDP reported today that it had, so far, successfully engaged, guided and inspired over 1,000 youths in Tripoli, Benghazi, Sebha and Derna to start and grow businesses as part of their Deraya Entrepreneurship project.
To expand on this, the UNDP are inviting entrepreneurship-focused companies operating in the South of Libya to submit proposals to scale this initiative in 9 municipalities in the South through a tailored approach that addresses the particular challenges faced by these municipalities and the youth.
The project is part of its Local Peacebuilding and Resilience efforts in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government.
The UNDP had launched Deraya for Entrepreneurship at the end of May this year to increase awareness and develop positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship through campaigns, webinars, startup weekends and hackathons on municipal challenges.
