Project Description

The pilot project aims to address the gender gap in MENA by enabling online contract work opportunities for female service providers from Jordan and Lebanon (and potentially Egypt). This will be done by (i) improving the skills set of 500 female service providers through the delivery and testing of tailored e-training; (ii) creating specific online certification badges for these female service providers to highlight their profile; and (iii) creating knowledge around e-power of talent platforms through a post-project study. The project will be implemented in partnership with an online marketplace for linguistic services in MENA.
