The aim of this program is to promote entrepreneurship development among micro and small women entrepreneurs. In Uganda, women own 46% of Micro and Small Enterprise (MSEs) dominating areas like beverages, textiles and services, with majority of them located at home with a lot of domestic interference and limited access to the wider market. Considering the physical structure from which businesses are operated, 72% of women MSEs are operating from semi-permanent temporary or no structure at all which makes their business insecure and quite costly in terms of transport since whenever they are retiring they have to move with their capital.
The focus of the program is on building capacity of grass root women in entrepreneurship development and business management skills to effectively manage their enterprises. Through the program women are trained in best practices in agriculture, linked to business service providers for technical guidance.
The program has two sub components i.e. Women and Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the Empowerment Resource Centre. The women and ICT component aims at promoting the use of ICTs by women entrepreneurs and women organisations involved in enterprise development. Through a Women's Information Resource Electronic Service (WIRES), women entrepreneurs and women organisations access information on market prices, advisory services, trade support information/services
Empowerment Resource Centre (ERC) whose aim is to equip women and the general public with necessary skills for effective career development and business management.
