Footsteps Africa build the capacities of rural women to engage in income-generating activities . We therefore train women members of VSL-groups in small-scale business management and conduct person to person business coaching in order for them to start and develop their own businesses. This has helped women to increase their income and improve their livelihoods.
Key strategies:
- Group business training for women in VSL groups
- Product development training for specific identified women value chains
- Market linkages for women value chains
- Person to Person business coaching, supervision and planning
