Training was designed around practical skills, local demand, and opportunities for women to earn income safely within their communities.
Additional vocational training centers were established to expand access to tailoring, handicrafts, computer skills, and small-business development.
Expansion of Vocational Training Centers
Expanding vocational training opportunities helps women and girls access practical skills that may support employment, self-employment, or livelihood activities. AWEDO’s initiative focused on increasing opportunities for skills development.
Vocational centers can provide structured environments for learning practical skills, practicing techniques, and receiving guidance. Training can be most effective when course content reflects participant needs and realistic local opportunities.
Skills development can also be strengthened by connecting technical learning with entrepreneurship, financial awareness, communication, and market knowledge. This broader preparation helps participants consider how to use their skills after training.
AWEDO aims to make vocational learning a pathway toward greater confidence and economic participation. Expansion of training opportunities can increase access to practical learning and support longer-term livelihood development.
