Programme Introduction

The programme is structured to sharpen the business skills of the women participants and to generate confidence in them for creating purposeful financial structures and leading successful businesses. The potential of women entrepreneurs remains largely untapped with many lacking access to the financial services, skills, and opportunities they need, to become successful business owners. Improving opportunities for women to earn and return income spurs economic growth and fosters a more inclusive and fair society, which is fundamental to sustainable growth and building more equitable societies. The programme is structured into 9 modules and created exclusively for women. It aims to facilitate women entrepreneurs who have the ambition to start and transform their small businesses into thriving enterprises. This programme caters to women who want to reignite their passion for doing and leading businesses, with proper direction.
