Mentor Arabia attended the closing event of the entrepreneurship component of the ENABLE Programme, held on 22 September 2026 at Voco Beirut Central District. Funded by the European Union (EU), the programme is implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) and the Association d’Entraide Professionnelle (AEP).
The event celebrated the achievements of the participating entrepreneurs, who strengthened their entrepreneurial skills and developed their businesses through training, business development support, coaching, grants and access to markets. It also showcased the network of local Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) trainers and Master Trainers developed in Lebanon through different ILO programmes, highlighting the local training capacity built through these efforts.
Entrepreneurs and trainers shared their experiences with the programme, and the Ministry of Social Affairs reflected on the importance of economic inclusion. The event concluded with an exhibition of the entrepreneurs’ products and businesses, offering participants the chance to meet them and learn more about their journeys.
Mentor Arabia’s participation reflects its continued commitment to supporting young people’s entrepreneurial journeys in Lebanon and to building partnerships with actors working on entrepreneurship, skills development and economic inclusion.
