* Masar project to support startups and development.
Masar is a youth entrepreneurship program that addresses several pressing challenges in Upper Egypt based on the United Nations Development Goals.
With the aim of strengthening the start-up sector, linking it to markets and value chains, raising awareness of entrepreneurship, and coordinating efforts in the entrepreneurship community in Upper Egypt, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030
In general, incumbents in the region – and other rural areas – face the challenges of high unemployment and insufficient opportunities for decent work in the labor market. Since its launch in 2018, Masar has focused on addressing these weaknesses by providing young entrepreneurs with the necessary entrepreneurial and technical skills. These activities help to develop better business ideas, grow and improve existing business ventures, and expand their networks by linking to markets and value chains.
