Strengthening Entrepreneurship in Mozambique

This project aims to improve the ability of teachers and managers of vocational schools and technical institutions to create concrete learning opportunities in entrepreneurship for young people in the provinces of Niassa and Nampula Mozambique. Project activities include: providing entrepreneurship training for professors and managers networking between schools and businesses through New Information and Communication Technologies (NICTs) and setting up Campus-Based Businesses. Campus-Based Businesses are non-profit entrepreneurship schools that enable students to develop marketing skills to offer manufactured products or services to real customers as part of their professional and technical training program. The project therefore seeks to develop trainers and managers specializing in entrepreneurship and provide entrepreneurial training and employment to young people thereby making them more employable.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) increased use of teaching practices relevant to entrepreneurship taking into account gender; (ii) increased use of Campus-Based Businesses in rural and urban areas of the provinces of Nampula and Niassa taking into account gender; and (iii) increased use of innovative practices and entrepreneurial support networks taking into account barriers to women's access to these networks.
