The proposed project in the 2010 Executive Plan: “Commercial area dedicated to women entrepreneurship”, can be a catalyst of a whole system of coordinate initiatives aimed to obtain an evident impact on Herat and its Province economical and social background.
This can happen just with some simple operations that ignite a virtuous process not merely limited to a physical space for commerce of goods.The proposal, actually, consider that marketplace as the central moment of a process that includes the possibility for the women to invent their own enterprise, to develop and implement it and to sell goods and services; then to imagine more issues for their own potentials in the future.
The key elements to set up for this project are:1) a micro-credit program to support financially the start up of the single activities and their natural, expected expansion, thanks to the loan-payback virtuous process; the Micro-credit program should be funded by Italian Cooperation and also the equipments, fornitures for the new infrustructure should be provide by Italian Cooperation. 2) a training and tutoring program to women entrepreneurship management, in cooperation with Italian women-manager and artisan women;3) the physical space of the marketplace, as hypothesized in the 2010 Executive Plan;
4) the permanent, in progress assistance, both financial and technical, for afghan women entrepreneurs and the exchange liaison that is possible to create between the Italian women entrepreneurship and the afghan one, with import-export activities too. It could be only a fate, but
the Market will raise near the Mausoleum of the ancient Queen GAUR SHAD, daughter-in-law of the King Tamerlano, who was able to maintain her reign for many years: let’s hope she wish the market and women inside it all the best of luck.At the ceremony the Italian Representation was composed by the RC-W Commander Brigadier General Alessandro VELTRI, the PRT Commander, Col.
