    Massarat graduates are inspiring young entrepreneurs in the region!

    USAID Mission Director Elise Jensen and Acting Mission Director Neilesh Shelat celebrated the graduation of 150 Iraqi young entrepreneurs in Baghdad. Today marks a special occasion as USAID concludes the Massarat program with the Makers.iq that was possible through a grant of approx. $50K from USAID. The program focuses on supporting Iraqi youth by advancing their careers in the digital commerce sector and empowers them to start their own tech businesses in the future. Mission Director Jensen handed out the graduation certificates to the graduates. USAID is proud to partner with Makers.iq to develop youth innovative businesses in the private sector and expand employment opportunities.

    Congratulations to all of the graduates!
