Diversification of the economy in non-oil sectors involves integral attention to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), so that they are able to grow and allow Angola to compete in the global economy. Enterprise development encompasses multiple factors, including the ability of enterprises to attract investment capital and to participate in mutually beneficial business linkages with multinational enterprises.
In this context, the Entrepreneurship Training Workshop (ETW) of UNCTAD’s Empretec programme is a core element of the EU-UNCTAD joint Programme for Angola: Train for Trade II. The behavioural approach aims at developing entrepreneurship as a set of specific competencies and practices that can be observed, recognized, applied and acquired by entrepreneurs on their daily lives. By fostering participants' motivation and self-confidence, the ETW manages to show entrepreneurs the difference between merely running a business and building a successful growth-oriented enterprise.
Target groups shall include established and aspiring MSME entrepreneurs, women, youth, MSME local suppliers, creative industries, representatives of regulators, donor and public sector actors responsible for MSMEs and social development, and other groups, which are regarded as priority groups by national authorities. About 70% of participants are required to have entrepreneurship experience.
Implementation of the Empretec programme in Angola will include certification of national trainers of Angola. With this objective, UNCTAD-Emprete International Master Trainers will also provide a pool of Angolan trainee trainers, selected among the best performing participants from the previous Empretec Training Workshop, with a training-of-trainers (TOT) session to transfer the training methodology to local trainers and to build national capacity for sustainable promotion of the Empretec programme in the country by national counterparts.
