WE GREEN Capacity Building program
This program is carefully crafted based on a thorough needs analysis and the findings from PR1. PR2 not only involves creating a comprehensive capacity-building curriculum for educators but also emphasises the creation of an online platform. This platform serves a dual purpose—it facilitates the delivery of the capacity-building program and provides a centralised hub for valuable information related to the initiative. The overarching goal remains to empower women in rural communities by cultivating green social entrepreneurship.
You can access the training and resources through the WE GREEN e-learning platform link.
Implementation of Capacity Building Programme
PR3 empowers educators supporting rural women with green social entrepreneurship skills through a capacity-building program. Trainers from implementing countries will support local implementation using a cascading methodology. The program targets participants through an open call facilitated by an online capacity-building tool. The pilot course/curriculum aims for a broad impact in adult education.
Please download the guidelines for trainers, handouts and eight English infographics covering green, digital, entrepreneurial, social, and rural women’s skills. All training materials and infographics are downloadable. Translations in other languages are coming soon.
Guide for the stakeholders
This guideline aims to support women’s entrepreneurship in rural areas by creating a comprehensive guide. The focus is on promoting green social entrepreneurship, environmental responsibility, and sustainability. The document has two parts: one identifies challenges and offers solutions, while the other focuses on practical policy interventions to support social economy enterprises led by women in rural areas. The project seeks to establish a collaborative effort among stakeholders to enhance women’s entrepreneurship and promote sustainable practices.
