Pave the way to women’s empowerment
November 9th – Khartoum, Sudan
The 9th November 2022 marked a turning point for WE-RISE! project.
On this date, AICS Khartoum organized, together with UN Women and Mercy Corps, a closed event with the twofold aim of introducing the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and enshrine the launch of R3 component, entrusted to Mercy Corps in partnership with Jasmar NGO.
Key WE-RISE! stakeholders had the chance to receive updates on the project’s state of art as well as on the first results achieved by the implementing partners: Microfinanza Srl for Result 1; UN Women for Result 2; and Mercy Corps for Result 3.
In this framework, Microfinanza SRL President Giampietro Pizzo described the multi-level intervention strategy adopted by Microfinanza under the WE-RISE! Result 1. The intervention strategy promotes specific actions at micro, meso and macro level of the financial ecosystem and aims at building synergies among multiple organizations and stakeholders, for the creation of a conducive economic environment and the promotion of women financial inclusion in Sudan.
The event constituted also the occasion to focus on economic and financial macro phenomena affecting Sudan and future perspectives of intervention.
