Programme

Capacity Building & Entrepreneurship

Turning knowledge and innovation into sustainable livelihoods.

About the programme

What this programme is about

The Capacity Building and Entrepreneurship Programme equips women, youth, technicians, farmers and community groups with practical skills needed to create employment, improve services and establish sustainable enterprises.

EWAH NEXUS recognises that training produces greater impact when it is connected to mentorship, business development, market opportunities and real community problems. We therefore combine technical learning with entrepreneurship and continuing support.

What we do

Business and financial literacy

Innovation and product development

Mentorship and market readiness

Experienced professionals support participants as they refine ideas, strengthen confidence, form partnerships and prepare to enter employment or the market.

Our approach

How we work
