The Challenges

Women in rural African communities play a central and critical role in community development and are often viewed as the key to community development.

While they are often the key to developing industries, there are few resources to help them plan and develop ideas for micro-entrepreneurship.

Ban Ki Moon Centre in partnership with Global Centre on Adaptation aims to change this ​

The Process With Claned

A comprehensive, 6-month program was developed the goal being to train and support young women leaders in developing their business ideas and including climate sustainability in them, increasing the likelihood of funding being awarded.

In addition to developing their ideas, a secondary goal of building a community of young women leader from around the continent.

As such the blended learning program mixes virtual session with self-study, space for learner uploads of assignments and virtual pitch labs. ​

The Outcome

The program is now in its second iteration (running once per year). Following an iteration, the team ant BKM collect feedback and data on participants performance and actively apply the insights top refine and improve the program.​

Learners have been highly engaged, with almost 90% average score and completion rate, made new friends and have begun to develop a community and deploy their idea into practice, generating employment, and reinvigorating communities. ​
