Our Projects under Entrepreneurship and Private Sector Development
Below are our projects to promote entrepreneurship and private sector development.
UNITAR Iraq Entrepreneurship for Youth
Iraq, a country that has been experiencing over a decade of warfare and violence, is faced with an array of challenges that undermine sustainable development and recovery. Against this background, the UNITAR Hiroshima Office, with the support of the People of Japan, launched a training programme to support Iraq to promote indigenous capacity development.
UNITAR South Sudan Entrepreneurship and Project Management Programme
South Sudan, the world's newest nation, is faced with an array of challenging issues which are undermining sustainable development and recovery. In this context, the UNITAR Hiroshima Office launched a training programme to support South Sudan in promoting indigenous capacity development.
UNITAR Social Entrepreneurship Training Programme for Women in the Horn of Africa
Entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship have the potential to promote socioeconomic development and help the world “build back better.” When women have knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship, they can lead their own initiatives and businesses (social or commercial) and engage more meaningfully in their societies. Thus, this programme was exclusively designed for women entrepreneurs and leaders from the Horn of Africa, focusing on entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation, with the generous financial support of the Government and People of Japan.
UNITAR-UNDP Green Economy for Afghanistan Programme
The UNITAR Hiroshima Office recently completed training on the adoption of a Green Economy to 20 representatives of the Government of Afghanistan. Hailing from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and the Ministry of Economy, and in a programme delivered in close collaboration with the Afghanistan Civil Service Institute and UNDP Afghanistan, the participants represented both Kabul based Civil Servants, as well as Provincial Directors, allowing for some very focused discussions as to the on-the-ground implementability of the issues presented.
