What it will be about

Yet, rural areas offer unique assets like natural resources and tight-knit communities.

What to expect 

This workshop is focused on promoting entrepreneurship in rural areas through interactive sessions. Participants will collaborate to design effective methods and set strategic objectives for fostering entrepreneurship. Key topics include policy developments, youth entrepreneurship, gender dimensions, and digital opportunities.

The workshop will feature presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities to facilitate collaboration and partnership building.
