NAMA and UN to create jobs for 25,000 women in UAE, abroad

Dubai: UN Women and the UAE-based non-profit NAMA Women Advancement Establishment (NAMA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in New York recently to formalise their efforts to stimulate demand for women entrepreneurs in the region.

In a statement, the pair said that they aimed to create opportunities for women in South Africa, the UAE and the region, with support from UN Women headquarters.

To be implemented in a period of three years, the programme will target approximately 25,000 women, especially those living in poverty and facing heightened social discrimination.
