The project design introduced a capacity building training on BDS for the NGOs as well as the Micro credit institutions in the target communities to be able to provide this type of assistance to the target beneficiaries in a sustainable manner which was very well received by participants More time was need to accompany and document the implementation of this interaction between NGOs and end beneficiaries.

title:

Rec 6. Expand support to self-employment training beneficiaries beyond the current 6 months Longer follow-up on beneficiaries beyond the 6 months, by their management trainers, is essential to respond to T&K beneficiaries’ needs as a highly vulnerable group. Follow-up can be from technical local experts who act like mentors to the small businesses and/or real support offered to beneficiaries beyond verbal advice, like linking them to suppliers and markets. This can enhance their sustainability chances. Also, local NGOs can play a role in the businesses longer-term follow-up offering technical and financial support (e.g, top up to high performing businesses), market linkages and forming networks of beneficiaries running similar businesses or working across the same value chain to act as a support group and increase their businesses efficiency (e.g., group sourcing and sharing fixed expenses)
