2. E-Marketing Portal (CLEOSTORE)
The National Council for Women in conjunction with the National Postal Authority created an E-Marketing portal (ClioStore). The portal is designed to help women owning small and micro businesses to display and market their products "locally and internationally".
The initiative succeeded in creating a database of nearly 500 women entrepreneurs. While the number of women who received advice in the area of small projects reached about 1600, in addition, about 3000 women have received training in various areas including computer skills and effective skills for the sales on the Internet since 2003.
