Abstract

Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is an international research initiative to measure differences among countries in the level of entrepreneurial activity, uncover factors influencing entrepreneurship in different nations, and identify policy implications for enhancing entrepreneurship. The GEM-MENA project involved the collection of adult population survey (APS) data on entrepreneurial activity levels and behaviour in seven MENA countries – Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, the West Bank & Gaza and Yemen. The Amman workshop was to build capacity and transfer technical know-how to MENA researchers on the GEM-MENA project, with how to approach country- and regional-level analysis of the APS data.
