June 6, 2009

Fifty seven women from the Akkar District (Halba and El Bireh Villages) received training in “women empowerment at work”. This USAID funded training program assists non-working women who seek to achieve financial independence.  The program also strengthens the capacity of women already in the work-place. “Women Empowerment at Work” is part of the gender integration activities provided by Relief International.  The project objectives were to provide women the communication, conflict resolution, decision making and leadership skills needed in the work place.  The project also provides information on resume preparation and how to succeed in a job interview.  This training is part of an $11 million project focusing on Municipal Capacity Building at the village level throughout Lebanon.
