Women are a particularly vulnerable segment of the population and are especially affected by these issues of integration into the labor market: 20% of MSMEs are owned by women, but less than 5% of them have access to financing.<\/p>\n<p>MSMEDA is the key public agency in Egypt\u2019s ecosystem. It has been improving the MSME sector for 25 years by offering financial services and technical assistance. AFD\u2019s support to MSMEDA aims to help reduce inequalities by promoting women\u2019s entrepreneurship and creating job opportunities for women.<\/p>\n<p>This new operation to support African microenterprises and SMEs is also part of France\u2019s Choose Africa initiative implemented by AFD Group.
