The initiative aims to train 50 women in e-commerce management, provide them with connected smartphones, raise their awareness of the basics of cybersecurity, and enable them to market their agricultural, artisanal, and fishery products online.<\/p>\n
This training embodies a shared commitment to women’s economic empowerment and digital inclusion, providing them with tangible means to overcome traditional barriers and access new opportunities.<\/p>\n

He noted that the sector continues to work in coordination with the Mauritanian Council of Businesswomen to develop an innovative digital platform that allows women to access a wide customer base, thereby strengthening the role of women as active economic partners and contributing to supporting a comprehensive process.<\/p>\n
