Earthquakes can have devastating effects on communities, causing significant economic and social disruptions. In such contexts, empowering female entrepreneurs can play a crucial role in the recovery and resilience-building efforts.

Supporting female-led MSMEs in earthquake-affected areas is not just about economic recovery but also about promoting gender equality and empowerment. It can lead to more inclusive and resilient communities in Morocco while fostering inclusive economic growth.

It is in this context that the Sub-Regional Office for North Africa of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA-SRO-NA) is organizing a side event on “Supporting Female-Led Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Earthquake-Affected Areas in Morocco”, at the Arab SMEs Summit 2023, scheduled to take place in Marrakesh from December 12 to 14, 2023.
