Shiraka Ecosystems for Entrepreneurs

From 2019, The Hague Academy developed a tailor-made Shiraka training to stregthen the capacities of civil servants and entrepreneurs from Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan in creating an environment that encourages entrepreneurship.

Main goal

The Shiraka training programme ‘Ecosystem for Entrepreneurs’ aims to make officials working for governments in Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia aware of their role in creating an environment that encourages entrepreneurship and supports entrepreneurs. By means of training, we aimed to develop the knowledge and skills to help them promote measures for a favourable business climate within their own organisation. Through designing and implementing concrete action plans, these change agents are taking the first steps towards a better ecosystem for entrepreneurship in their countries.
