Antecedentes

Supported by BADEA, this programme targets participants who completed Phases I and II of the BADEA–UNITAR Agribusiness SME Development Programme in Zimbabwe: "Accelerating Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Livelihoods through the Development of Small and Medium Agribusiness Enterprises for Women and Youth."

Phases I & II, launched in November 2023, trained 50 women and youth entrepreneurs in agribusiness planning, climate-smart practices, and leadership. Participants developed business plans, identified value chain opportunities, integrated climate-resilient measures, and strengthened pitching skills.

Phase III is a 4-week, fully online coaching and mentoring programme designed to move participants from planning to practical implementation. It provides lectures, personalised mentoring, peer learning, and hands-on assignments for market readiness, financial preparedness, and sustainability integration.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Develop a 60–90-day Business Implementation Roadmap with three priority actions, timelines, and milestones (Week 1).
  • Conduct a mini-market scan and create a Market Engagement Plan with two customer segments, two competitors, and three actionable strategies (Week 2).
  • Prepare a three-month cash-flow projection and five-slide Pitch Deck (Week 3).
