About the programme

Microenterprise training is for people who run a very small business, often from home or a market stall, and want to earn more from it.

SIA delivered it with Islamic Relief Pakistan and Manzil Organization: business and financial skills for rights holders in tailoring, beautician services, solar technology and more.

Across all its programmes, SIA counts more than 3,500 microentrepreneurs who completed an SIA business training course. That figure covers every programme, not this one alone.

Ideate

This training now lives in Ideate: entrepreneurship training, the Business Model Canvas and micro-grants for the top 10%.

How SIA reports results

Every figure SIA publishes has a definition, a source and an "as of" date, and the same number appears on every page, proposal and report. A figure without an agreed definition is not published until it has one.

That is why some results on this page are still marked for checking: they will appear here once they are confirmed.
