Welcome to WikiProject Entrepreneurship policies in the Arab world. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of entrepreneurship policies in the Arab world, and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please
join the project, inquire on the
talk page and see the
to-do list below.
Goals
This project addresses existing policies and research on entrepreneurship in the Middle East, North Africa, and Arab world. It will include country-specific pages on the best practices and the challenges that have been identified in the establishment of an entrepreneurial climate in this region.
Scope
This project covers entrepreneurship policy in all 22 countries in the
Arab League and some neighboring countries. Its focus is on policy, research, and major initiatives.
The focus is on multi-year, ongoing initiatives, in order to avoid an unmanageable list of one-off, one-time events or small projects that have not yet proven themselves.
Guidelines
On this Project:
To ensure comparability, all countries covered will use the same basic template for categorizing policies. Once this template has been stabilized, modifying it will mean modifying all 22+ countries that use it, for which considerable discussion in the Template talk page is suggested to reach consensus in advance.
The same format is followed within each country: for each policy category, a very brief synopsis may be offered if helpful, followed by a short list of the most important '
best practices' that have been identified by leading scholars, followed by a short list of the 'needed reforms' that leading scholarly research has identified as being most important for the emergence of successful entrepreneurship in that particular country.
In order to avoid an overly-long "
laundry list" and/or pet-peeves of particular interested parties, judgment and discretion is required to keep these lists succinct and limited to the top priorities for the country and region as a whole.
If possible, the specific law, regulation or policy should be identified, and linked to (if available).

WP:Manual of Style for a comprehensive overview of how to write and edit Wikipedia articles.
Wiki markup explains the mechanics of what codes are available to you when editing a page, to do things like titles, links, external links, and so on. (It's a section in
WP:How to edit a page).
Please feel free to list here your new articles on entrepreneurship policies in the Arab world-related articles (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the
Did you know? box on the Wikipedia
Main Page.
This template should be included in the top of the "Talk" page for all articles that fall within the scope of this WikiProject. Just copy the following phrase into the Talk page, including the curly-brackets: {{WikiProject Entrepreneurship policies in the Arab world}}. The template will fill out the whole paragraph for you, using "
transclusion". This way if the template is modified it will automatically update all pages that use it. Here is an example of it in use:
