‘Light touch, high impact’ local coaching
Local organisations 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 ‘light touch, high impact’ local coaching, WIDU.africa reaches thousands of entrepreneurs in the informal sector. 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 the informal sector. 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.
