Inclusive Economic Growth
MSMEs, Entrepreneurship, Employment, and Economic Inclusion are the cornerstones of NSCE economic development projects with a focus on agribusiness and handicrafts. Economic empowerment at NSCE consists of a package of capacity-building and training activities on employability skills and entrepreneurship backed by evidence-based knowledge products, public-private partnerships (PPP), and access to finance (A2F). NSCE targets (pre-)incubation services programmes, business development services, and Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) training, financial education, marketing, and communication training. For entrepreneurs to get ahead, NSCE also has a track record of organising employment and financial fairs and business development hubs. These activities are based on value chain analyses, participatory market analyses, and institutional assessments.
