Khartoum: HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser witnessed the signing of several agreements between Silatech and several Sudanese organisations.
These new partnerships will lead to a series of initiatives aimed at creating one million new jobs for young Sudanese people by 2021.
The signed agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoU) include support for Sudan’s national food security strategy by creating a new generation of youth agribusiness entrepreneurs in collaboration with the
Agricultural Bank of Sudan and working with the Qatar National Bank and Farmer’s Commercial Bank to provide financial support to young people in the agribusiness industry.
Silatech also signed a collaboration agreement with the National Commission for Refugees to support the economic empowerment of Syrian refugees in Sudan and a Memorandum of Understanding with the Supreme
Council for Welfare & Intellectual Safeguard to prevent the radicalization of young people. Finally, Silatech forged a new partnership with the Social Development Foundation to support the sustainable development of Khartoum.
Her Highness then visited a Silatech beneficiary who was able to expand his pastry business from a small workshop into a factory with two showrooms and a workshop of 12 through a microfinance loan.
