Udyamini is a social initiative to increase the Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) in Assam and West Bengal.
In this context the India Programme sees an opportunity to positively influence the ecosystem for women entrepreneurship by focusing on promising value chains Although government schemes for skill development and financing exist,they are not effective. We believe that we can help model improvements to these schemes and influence the government to adopt them. An additional element of the grant will fund the building of women peer networks and the dissemination of success stories Such a complex proposition required bringing together a wide range of organisations with complementary skills and experience that matches the ambition of this initiative.
