Women Entrepreneur Advancement
Targeted program combining digital learning with business acceleration for women entrepreneurs.
Through R&D's flagship entrepreneurship support platform, 'SHARE', in partnership with Care Ethiopia, the "Advancing Women Enterprises" project engages 60,000 young women entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises, providing them access to relevant information and learning opportunities.
Additionally, the project offers business skills and life-skills training, delivered by 25 Care Ethiopia facilitators who have been upskilled by R&D, to approximately 12,000 women youth entrepreneurs. This training covers essential aspects of entrepreneurship.
Furthermore, the project will implement a three-month business development service program for 250 women-led enterprises. This program will include both virtual and face-to-face components and features a mentorship scheme that connects these entrepreneurs with carefully selected and trained mentors via the SHARE platform.
