| Description: | This exchange program will bring 25-30 emerging women leaders from the entrepreneurship field including the business, academia, media, and private and nonprofit sectors throughout the Middle East and North Africa to the United States for approximately two weeks of leadership training, mentoring and networking. The program will include a Washington, D.C.-based program, a week-long training institute at an educational institution in Boston, MA, and a mentoring component in New York City. After the U.S.-based activities, ECA anticipates that a private sector partner will organize a Middle East-based summit for program participants and others.
