The grant contributed to the development and implementation of an entrepreneurship intervention to foster the economic inclusion of vulnerable groups in the country. The grant-funded activities helped to develop local evidence to customize the design of the intervention. A living inventory of entrepreneurship programs was produced and used to improve referrals of beneficiaries. Likewise, an entrepreneur survey helped to shape the training curricula of the program. With support from PEI, the World Bank team supported the Government in the development of training manuals and tools to expand skills for women empowerment and financial literacy tailored to the beneficiaries’ needs.
