• Identification of potential participants through community outreach and engagement
• Development of a training curriculum that covers the basics of starting and managing a small business, including financial management, marketing, and product development
• Delivery of the training through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training
• Provision of technical assistance and mentoring to participants to help them establish and grow their businesses
• Monitoring and evaluation of the program to measure its impact and identify areas for improvement

Expected Outcomes:

• Increased income for participating individuals and their households
• Improved economic opportunities and reduced poverty
• Increased self-sufficiency and empowerment of participants
• Development of small businesses that contribute to the local economy
• Target population: Low-income individuals, particularly women and youth, who have limited access to economic opportunities and resources.
