Accelerating Women-led Businesses
Accelerate is a program that is targeted at women who are considering starting a small business as well as small business owners who want to learn the basics of digital, business and financial literacy skills. Accelerate provides practical instructions on starting and running a business that include activities, worksheets, self-assessments and additional resources to refer to along the way.
Aimed to address the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, the Accelerate curriculum includes live, instructor-led virtual training sessions, self-paced learning, engaging speaker series by industry leaders and an open hour session for additional support and networking. Supported by various donors, the Accelerate program also offers mentorship opportunities for women-led businesses to deepen their knowledge and learning. Through these activities, we hope for women-led MSMEs to be better equipped with the business acumen to tackle challenges and remain competitive, particularly in a post-pandemic environment.
