HACEY, ACCESS Empower Women Entrepreneurs In Kaduna To Foster Economic Growth, Dev’t

HACEY, with support from ACCESS, has empowered women entrepreneurs in Kaduna State in a bid to foster economic growth and development.

Women in Kaduna State face significant barriers to economic empowerment, including limited access to financial services, inadequate business knowledge, and a pronounced digital divide.

These challenges hinder their ability to start, grow, and sustain successful businesses, thereby limiting their contribution to the local economy.

HACEY with support from ACCESS recognises the immense potential of women entrepreneurs to drive economic growth and development in the State, therefore, it deemed it fit to equip women with the necessary skills and knowledge, unlocking their entrepreneurial spirit and creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the community.

HACEY’s Project team lead, Bamidele Oyewumi, said: “The overall goal of the project is to empower 3,000 disadvantaged women to access sustainable livelihoods by creating economic opportunities, promoting self-development, and improving social outcomes.

“The project aims to provide comprehensive financial literacy training, covering budgeting, savings, credit management, and financial planning. Enhance women’s business acumen through training in marketing, sales, customer service, and inventory management. Bridge the digital divide by providing basic digital literacy training, enabling women to leverage technology for business growth and access to online markets. Conduct a targeted radio awareness campaign to promote women’s entrepreneurship, share success stories, and provide information on available resources and support services.

“The project will benefit at-risk women aged 18 to 40 years living in underserved communities who are more likely to engage in unsustainable and unsafe means of generating income and will be implemented across Kaduna State, Nigeria.”

A representative of the community, Hon. Mark Jacob, commended the organisers of the initiative, stating that: “this initiative is one of the projects that have empowered our women in the last two years giving them the opportunity to learn. Together, we can empower women entrepreneurs in Kaduna State to achieve sustainable economic growth and development.”
