On April 30th in Algiers, the PEFEVA Project – Promotion of Women’s Entrepreneurship in the Green Economy in Algeria, organized a workshop dedicated to entrepreneurship awareness, business creation procedures, and access to financing opportunities for women entrepreneurs and project holders.

The event brought together key actors from the entrepreneurial ecosystem, including support organizations, students, aspiring entrepreneurs, and women-led initiatives, around a shared objective: strengthening access to practical knowledge and resources that facilitate the transition from entrepreneurial ideas to viable businesses.

Designed as an interactive and informative session, the workshop focused on two major themes that remain central to entrepreneurial development: understanding the administrative process of creating a business and identifying financing mechanisms accessible to women entrepreneurs in Algeria.

A key highlight of the event was the presentation of two practical guides by Nesrine Ziad, Program Director at Leancubator. Developed within the framework of the project, the guides were designed as accessible and practical resources to support entrepreneurs throughout different phases of their entrepreneurial journey.

The first guide, “Creating Your Business Step by Step”, supports entrepreneurs throughout the different phases of business creation, from the initial idea to project implementation. The second guide, “Finance Mechanisms in Algeria”, provides an overview of financing opportunities, support schemes, and financial instruments available for women entrepreneurs and project leaders in Algeria.

The workshop also provided participants with an overview of existing financial support mechanisms and funding opportunities available for women entrepreneurs and project holders. Through presentations and discussions, attendees gained clearer insights into available support structures and the tools that can help facilitate entrepreneurial development.

The PEFEVA Project is implemented on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in partnership with the Ministry of Industry.
