The project's overall goal is to build competitive micro- and small
enterprises in rural areas in eight out of Ghana's ten regions. The immediate
objective of the REP is to promote a competitive rural micro and small
enterprise sector in participating districts; which is supported by relevant,
good quality, easily accessible and sustainable services. The project
components are: business development and marketing services involving mainly
technical and management training through district-based Business Advisory
Centers, technology promotion and support to apprenticeship through Rural
Technology Facilities, and Rural Financial Services provided through rural
banks. There is also a strong environmental component which aims at reducing
the strain of agricultural and tree logging activities by increasing new
environmentally sustainable livelihoods. In Canada The intern will participate actively in EWB's renowned pre-departure training program. The 200 hours of training is offered in small groups that are capped at 10 participants to ensure a suitable learning environment. Material is presented primarily though a case study based approach drawing heavily on EWB's field experience. Participants are expected to complete an extensive preparatory program prior to their arrival at training and to work diligently during training on the numerous assignments and activities. Overseas The intern will work with the local staff of REP to improve the services provision strategy for their outreach programs to the rural poor. This will be achieved though capacity building and skills training offered to the community trainers on business and facilitation techniques. The goal of the work will be to improve the ability of REP staff to offer true value added services to local businesses and technology entrepreneurs. |
