Advantages of WIDU Business Coaching
Cooperation with Local Organisations Key to Business Coaching Success
WIDU Coaching is always provided by local organisations that are trained and supported to give three coaching sessions to WIDU.africa entrepreneurs at their business location. The sessions help the entrepreneurs to plan and operate their business for the best possible results.
Thanks to a combination of the online platform as well as the carefully designed local coaching approach, WIDU.africa reaches thousands of micro and small entrepreneurs in its six African partner countries. The coaching organisations additionally help us to measure WIDUs results and thus help achieve an impact.
Our partners have a high level of expertise and experience in supporting entrepreneurs in all sectors. They offer specialized insights and know-how, as well as geographic knowledge. They are able to reach people in rural areas that are often inaccessible to development cooperation initiatives.
Coaching sessions are always free, and the advice is led by the needs of the entrepreneur to support and promote the entrepreneurs’ business.
