Tamkeen plan aimed at bolstering transparency
MANAMA: Tamkeen held two meetings with Bahrain-based business owners and a number of prominent women to share and discuss its 2012 Operational Plan.
The outreach initiative comes as part of Tamkeen's commitment to transparency and closer stakeholder engagement, in addition to its ongoing support to Bahraini businesses and economically empowering women.
The meetings were headed by Tamkeen chief executive Mahmood Al Kooheji and other members of its senior management.
They went through the plan with more than 20 business owners from different sectors and nine prominent business-women.
This was followed by an open session where the participants shared their feedback on the plan and discussed other current issues within the market such as distressed enterprises and potential for new enterprise support schemes to be integrated in the near future.
The women's meeting also discussed Tamkeen's women empowerment strategy and programmes which support them and how they can maximise the benefits from those schemes.
