Despite substantial investment in women’s education in the MENA region and a significant increase in their educational attainment, women’s labour force participation remains very low. After reviewing the constraints impeding women from fully participating in the labour market, we put forward an action plan to raise female LFP and entrepreneurship in this region.

The objective of the policy paper is to examine the status of global value chains (GVCs) on the two shores of the Mediterranean and provide some insights on how to enhance regional integration. We argue that GVCs will help firms improve their productivity, that SMEs will become more sustainable and generally diversify exports from the region.
