CONTINUING THE JOURNEY: TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURS

Continuing the transformative journey of the RISE project – which has already impacted more than 200 young people in the ‘Fundamentals’ phase – MICAIA Foundation and GIZ are moving on to the next stage of training. Between 17 and 26 February 2025, an intensive training of trainers in Personal Initiative (PI Training) took place, bringing together participants who alternated between the roles of mentor and entrepreneur, strengthening their skills to multiply knowledge.

During this practical experience, the new trainers applied what they had learnt in the pilot phase, providing training for 9 young entrepreneurs from Chimoio. This innovative dynamic prepares the ground so that soon between 70 and 80 of the selected participants can enter the incubation phase, expanding the social and economic impact of sustainable entrepreneurship.
With the support of the European Union, this stage reaffirms the commitment to sustainable development in the Province of Manica and projects the creation of up to 300 decent jobs. We are excited that this journey of transformation continues, and there are many new success stories to come!
