The representative of the World Bank, the legal expert Ghar Al-Qastalani, who is responsible for the economic empowerment program for women in Iraq, visited the headquarters of the Association of Iraqi Private Banks in Erbil.

She also attended the Supreme Council for Women's Affairs in Kurdistan and Omar Wadee, a member of the Board of Directors of Al Mahatta Foundation for Entrepreneurship.

The two sides discussed ways of cooperation between the World Bank and the Association of Iraqi Private Banks to achieve the objectives of this program, which is to increase the percentage of women's labor force by 5 percentage points by 2024.

Cooperation between the Association, the Government of the Territory and the World Bank will be carried out on the implementation of certain activities related to women's economic empowerment.

Mr. Wadih Al-Hanalal stressed that one of the priorities of the Association's work with the strategic partner of the Central Bank of Iraq is to empower women through the Tamkeen Community Initiatives Fund, which is financed by private banks and exchange companies.

He stressed the need for coordination between the team of the World Bank and the World Bank to conduct workshops and seminars and training courses aimed at creating employment opportunities and awareness of the public and private sectors.
