Entrepreneurship development helps people bring new ideas to the marketplace and creates opportunities. In Nepal, the development of entrepreneurship is even more important for generating employment and regional growth.

The training builds capacity for enterprise development, business planning, identify major supporters, areas to link with financial institutions, interventions for local level development activities under existing goat value chain.
