The DigiThrive Program supports young women entrepreneurs in the agrifood sector to grow and strengthen their businesses using simple digital tools and practical business support. It addresses the challenge of limited access to digital skills and tools that can help small businesses operate more efficiently and grow. The program helps participants learn how to use easy digital solutions in their daily business activities, such as managing sales, improving communication, and reaching more customers. Through training and support, young women are guided on how to apply these tools in practical ways. The key benefits include improved business efficiency, increased income opportunities, better business management, and stronger, more sustainable agrifood enterprises led by young women.
