The Advancing Palestinian Women Entrepreneurs project has helped hundreds of women in the West Bank turn their business aspirations into reality. The project was designed and implemented by the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women in partnership with the Near East Foundation and Tomorrow’s Youth Organisation.

In Palestine, the Near East Foundation has been focused on helping the “missing middle” of women who have existing businesses ready to be taken to scale. With this support, Palestinian women can act as drivers of development—creating jobs, revitalizing the economy, and realizing their true potential as agents of social change.
