EMPOWERING 100 WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS WITH CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS POST-EARTHQUAKE
The project, funded by the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), is being implemented in collaboration with Türkiye’s leading business associations in their respective fields — the Federation of Sectoral Associations (SEDEFED) and the Energy Efficiency and Management Association (EYODER) — as well as Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE).
The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) provides modest funding for small-scale but high-impact projects in over 120 countries eligible for official development assistance. Our project will have a significant impact in the following areas: Women, Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Energy, Regional Development, and Economic Recovery.
The project, covering the provinces of Adana, Hatay, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaraş, and Şanlıurfa, is being implemented between August 15, 2024, and February 21, 2025, and includes both in-person and online workshops, capacity-building activities, and mentoring seminars.
Our goal is to equip women entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills necessary to adopt clean energy solutions, thereby contributing to sustainable development in their communities. Among these women, regional goodwill ambassadors have also been selected.
Through this initiative, we aim to establish sustainable and innovative collaborations between Canadian companies and local SMEs. We hope that these efforts will also inspire other regions affected by the earthquake.
Together, we are working toward a sustainable future for Türkiye, aiming to increase women’s participation in economic recovery efforts.
