Economic & Human Development

Enhancing economic growth and promoting entrepreneurship and workforce skills

MDF aims to supercharge the Bekaa region’s workforce, encouraging skilled individuals to put down roots and make meaningful contributions locally. We’re helping locals develop their technical-vocational know-how, entrepreneurship acumen, essential soft skills, and job application techniques to confidently join or create vibrant enterprises – driving sustainable growth for everyone involved.

Starting in 2021, our Tech Academy enabled over 750 graduates to become competent and successful digital professionals through online courses covering data science, artificial intelligence, animation, digital marketing, and mobile application development among other exciting and emerging topics.

The Career Bridge Program provided career guidance and soft skills training to more than 6,000 participants. Our Adira project has been empowering more than 25 local women by unifying their Mouneh products under one brand and connecting them with larger markets, including the Lebanese diaspora.
