Women running small businesses in Nairobi’s informal sector are being encouraged to move beyond physical markets and use digital platforms to find customers, market their products and manage their finances.

This is the focus of a three-day digital skills training by KICTANet, which seeks to empower women with practical knowledge on using technology for entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.

The programme has trained participants as trainers of trainers, with the women expected to return to their communities and share the skills with others.
