Following the success of the first cycle, the second entrepreneurship training cycle launched under the Wafa Fazzan Project, bringing in 50 additional participants from small and medium enterprises across Southern Libya.
The cycle followed the same hands-on methodology that proved effective in the first round, spanning 18 training days covering financial management, digital marketing, and human resource management. Combined with the first cycle’s 20 days, the total comes to 38 training days and 152 training hours. But the full picture is in the cumulative numbers.
Combined Results Across Both Cycles
With the completion of the second cycle, the Wafa Fazzan Project has achieved the following:
- 100 entrepreneurs and business owners trained
- 38 training days totaling 152 training hours
- Completion rate: 100% across both cycles
- Female participation: 45%
- Representation from multiple municipalities and diverse economic sectors across Southern Libya
The project team ensured that the second cycle was not a repetition of the first in terms of representation, but a complement to it. Participants were recruited from municipalities and sectors that were underrepresented in Cycle 1, broadening the beneficiary base and ensuring the program’s impact reaches a wider cross-section of the community.
More important than the numbers: all 100 participants who completed the training program are now eligible to enter the evaluation and selection phase for financial grants, the stage that bridges the gap between training and real-world execution.
