MARKET ASSESSMENT OF MICROBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN IN IDP COMMUNITIES AND THEIR HOST COMMUNITIES IN JUBALAND AND SOUTH WEST SOMALIA

This microbusiness assessment, commissioned as part of the LEAP project, aims to understand the current landscape of microbusiness in terms of the opportunities, barriers and challenges that women in displacement settings face in accessing economic opportunities in the cities of Kismayo, Dollow and Baidoa. The study will support the LEAP project team to more effectively target support to improve the capacity of women in supply chains and business development so that women IDPs are directly empowered to mitigate the impact of multiple crises on their livelihoods, protect themselves from exposure to gender based violence, and participate in decision-making processes within their communities.
