Pourquoi le Prix Awa ?

L’entrepreneuriat n’a ni frontières, ni genre. Partout dans le monde, des femmes et des hommes animent leurs communautés grâce à leur entreprise.

Néanmoins, le parcours d’une entrepreneure est souvent parsemé d’obstacles qui rendent ses projets plus difficilement réalisables. Par exemple, les inégalités liées aux normes sociales, le temps accordé aux soins à la famille, les difficultés d’accès au marché et au financement ou encore les violences physiques et psychologiques basées sur le genre constituent de véritables freins pour de nombreuses femmes. Consciente des enjeux économiques et soucieuse d’agir en faveur d’une meilleure répartition des chances, Enabel a développé, à la demande de la Ministre de la Coopération au Développement et de la Politique des Grandes Villes, Meryame Kitir, le Prix Awa, Entrepreneures avec impact. Le Prix Awa, c’est un concours qui met en lumière les entreprises et les femmes qui les portent. Mais au-delà de cette compétition, Awa poursuit l’objectif de fédérer une communauté d'entrepreneur·es, fort·es de valeurs, afin de lutter contre les inégalités socioéconomiques. Au travers du Prix Awa, de nombreux évènements seront organisés à l’échelle locale comme internationale afin de sensibiliser femmes et hommes aux belles opportunités que représente l’entrepreneuriat des femmes. Ces rencontres permettront d’avancer sur des actions concrètes qui peuvent être mises en place dans l'optique de lever les nombreux freins persistants.

À qui s’adresse le Prix Awa ?

Pour inscrire son projet en compétition, il faut:

*Pays participants à l’édition 2023: Bénin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinée, Jordanie, Mali, Maroc, Mauritanie, Mozambique, Niger, Ouganda, Palestine, République démocratique du Congo, Rwanda, Sénégal, Tanzanie, Tunisie. Consultez le règlement complet ici.
