Bahraini Tamkeen Extends Business Support Program Registration Deadline

The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has extended the registration deadline for its 'Musanada' support program to September 30 to help local businesses affected by Iranian aggression sustain operations and maintain their workforce. The extension applies to all three of the program's streams: directly affected business support, operational expenses support, and financing profit support. As part of the measures, Tamkeen doubled the support duration under the operational expenses track from three months to six months to boost business continuity and job retention.

Eligible sectors for operational expenses and financing profit support include manufacturing, transportation, tourism, trade, professional services, administrative support, recreation, and early childhood education. Tamkeen called on qualifying institutions to apply through its website before the new deadline.
