Despite the challenging circumstances currently unfolding in Lebanon, we are incredibly proud to extend our heartfelt congratulations to our colleague, Mohammad Makki, PhD, Co-Director of the Social Economy Unit. Building upon the outstanding work done through the "Social Justice Incubation Program" (https://lnkd.in/d6xWUy3H), Mohammed has deepened his exploration of the social economy and successfully produced a new policy paper that has been selected for the prestigious FEMISE 2024 Call for Papers, themed "The Euromed Partnership as a Catalyst for SDGs: Advancing Value Chains, Climate Action, Digital Transformation, and Youth Empowerment." In December, Mohammed will be participating in the FEMISE Conference, co-organized by the **European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and hosted by the **School of Business at the American University in Cairo (AUC)**. This achievement not only highlights the dedication of our Social Economy Unit, but also provides international exposure for the SIJP cases, contributing to bridging the gap between impactful research and social entrepreneurship in the Arab region.

On October 14th and 15th, the COSV team met with community leaders from Namanjavira and Alto-Benfica to present the Kufungula Muae project. During the meeting, the leaders expressed gratitude for being part of this transformative and inclusive initiative, implemented by COSV and promoted by the World Food Programme in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation. Active community participation is essential for transforming the future of these communities! 💪   📈 In this first phase, the project, implemented in partnership with the technical consultancy of LORY Enterprise, aims to reach 15,000 beneficiaries, aged between 18 and 35, with 65% being women, in districts of Zambézia such as Mocuba (which includes Alto Benfica and Namanjavira), Gurué, Nicoadala, Namacurra, and Lugela. Activities include savings and rotating credit groups, with cascade training conducted by local community trainers. Through these savings strategies and agribusiness training, local entrepreneurs can strengthen their agricultural activities and access value chains and local and regional markets. 🌱👩🌾   Together, we are building a more inclusive and sustainable future! 🌾 🇵🇹 Nos dias 14 e 15 de outubro, a equipa da COSV reuniou-se com os líderes comunitários de Namanjavira e Alto-Benfica para apresentar o projeto Kufungula Muae – Abrindo Oportunidades.
