Project or context description

  • Project presentation:

Raqameyon is a 1-year project funded by the French government and implemented by Expertise France in collaboration with the Libyan government.

The project's overall objective is to support the digital transition in Libya by contributing to the diversification of the job market, focusing on the digital economy. More specifically, the project aims to support the creation of employment opportunities in the digital sector by disseminating digital skills among various audiences and supporting the development of local training and digital capacity-development programs.

  • Context:

In a workshop organised by Expertise France as part of Raqam-e Connect, an event that took place first week of December 2022 in Tripoli- Libya, the need for digital skills was highlighted. Nowadays, most entrepreneurs use digital tools to promote their services and therefore, the need to learn more digital skills is becoming a necessity to develop businesses.

According to a survey published by expertise France in 2021[1] , one of the most needed trainings in the business field is quality control, sales boosting techniques, business development techniques, and financial techniques.

The aim of this component is to give SMEs and entrepreneurs technical skills in online marketing and commerce that they can use immediately, such as: how to create a basic website (using WordPress for example), how to animate a Facebook page and community, how to use the tools available to optimize their online sales, etc.

These easily assimilated skills can enable a business to see its results increase significantly in a short space of time. The time investment for these entrepreneurs and businesses is minimal in view of the potential benefits.

Based on the survey and after a focus group organised on the 29th of May,2023 with some of the most prominent entrepreneurs and owners of SMEs in Libya, a selection of training topics is chosen as follows:

  1. Digital Marketing
  2. Financial management and investment using digital tools
  3. Business development in a competitive world, how to use AI tools to develop your business and catch economic trends
  4. Entrepreneurship digital skills, HR and process management.
  • Needs:

This component of Raqameyon will be dedicated to support entrepreneurs and SME’s to develop their businesses through enhancing their digital capacities.

The selected entrepreneurs and small businesses are going to receive specific short-term trainings on specific technologies that will help develop their businesses.

The activities involved in this component are:

  • Development of a training curriculum in various topics
