JAMII Femmes Programme 2022 for African Women Entrepreneurs

0 Shares

In Nigeria, applications for the JAMII Femmes programme 2022 are now being accepted.

The JAMII Femmes project seeks to improve the effect of African women entrepreneurs on the African economy and to encourage the development of creative sustainable development solutions that will contribute to positive change in Africa by improving the lives of tens of thousands of people.

The Women In Africa (WIA) initiative, which is backed by The Coca-Cola Foundation and is now in its inaugural year, seeks to promote and economically empower women entrepreneurs in Nigeria with creative solutions for sustainable development.

7,000 female entrepreneurs will be chosen to participate in an online training program, which will include networking with professionals and attending local Bootcamps. Honoris United Universities, WIA’s knowledge partner and Africa’s first and biggest network of private higher education institutions, will lead the online training sessions. They will prepare women to create new concepts with integrity, as well as obtain an understanding of leadership and management abilities. As a result, they will play an important role in improving the quality of life in their communities.
