In 2013, ABAAD organised, coordinated , and facilitated the implementation of a s t u d y t o u r fo r sixteen women from Jordan, who visited women’s cooperatives i n fo u r L e b a n e s e governorates (North, South, Bekaa, and Beirut). The study tour targeted women’s economic empowerment initiatives, with a special focus on women’s agricultural, production, and manufacturing cooperatives. The group took note of best practices taking place in Lebanon related to product development, packaging, labelling, quality assurance, hygiene, presentation, marketing, as well as fair trade.
