TRAIN has designed a series of training programs delivered in each governorate separately (Cairo, Alexandria and Assiut) by experts to the targeted category of unregistered MSMEs, entrepreneurs and individuals operating in the specified 3 sectors (renewable energy, ICT, and logistics) and their value chains, with the purpose of enhancing their capabilities. The technical training programs aim towards transferring the necessary knowledge to MSMEs, entrepreneurs and individuals on the tax and non-tax incentives secured by the Egyptian government for small to medium sized companies, and to provide them with the required knowledge on the tax system in Egypt and its recent developments as well as the required processes and procedures for registering on the online tax system. All training programs will be highly interactive in nature and will follow a “Problem Driven” approach that helps present practical solutions and live cases facing Egyptians as they deal with the taxation system. The training’s approach therefore focuses more on presenting practical solutions and discussions to overcome tax challenges rather than simply treating the symptoms. The material presented is tailored to the beneficiaries’ level of understanding, background and current challenges. In addition, all material is developed from a gender perspective, and is customized to suit the needs of female audiences and methods and approaches to learning. All workshops are delivered and presented in Arabic by local experts who have extensive and practical background in the taxation field to ensure their professional impact on the beneficiaries.
