supporting networks of women

supporting networks of women 

Financing from the MDG Fund, UNIDO teamed up with five other UN agencies to help develop these creative industries by supporting networks of women and indigenous communities and by providing training on better manufacturing techniques and marketing. Over 65% of those participating in the initiative are women, who also run half of the small businesses across the four regions targeted. All producers received training in how to improve their products and were also helped to come up with new designs that took account of their cultural heritage.
