Entrepreneurship & Economic Empowerment Program

Fostering sustainable livelihoods through mentorship, skills development, access to networks and financial resources, especially for underrepresented groups—youth, women & girls, and PWLDs—enabling them to start, grow, or stabilize businesses.

About This Project
