• Strengthening the leadership, self-esteem, autonomy and economic empowerment of women.

This program is expected to be completed within 6 months and includes participants from all districts in priority areas such as tourism, creative industry, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), light manufacturing and Information Technology and Communications Services (ITCS). The module will be facilitated through:

• Group meetings,
• Workshops,
• Personalized business advising by BELTRAIDE, the Belize City Council and the Women’s Department, and
• A signature business networking event scheduled for May 23rd, 2019.
