As an SIYB Master Trainer and Business Consultant, I am proud to have conceptualized, developed, and launched Afghanistan’s first-ever online SIYB training platform for potential entrepreneurs.
This project is not just a technological advancement, but a transformative step in making entrepreneurship education more accessible to individuals across the country, regardless of their location or circumstances.
This initiative, hosted by the Afghan National Association for Adult Education (ANAFAE), marks a historic milestone in providing structured, high-quality business education through lms.anafae.af.
By leveraging digital learning tools, we have broken traditional barriers and created an opportunity for Afghan entrepreneurs to acquire essential business knowledge from anywhere with an internet connection.
I designed this interactive and dynamic course following SIYB global standards, ensuring that participants receive practical, well-structured, and engaging training tailored to the real-world challenges of starting and growing a business. The program goes beyond theoretical concepts by integrating hands-on activities, case studies, and interactive assignments to help participants build confidence and develop actionable business strategies.
To maintain the highest training quality, this course was delivered by certified SIYB trainers under my direct supervision as a Master Trainer. Through this initiative, we have introduced a new era of digital learning in Afghanistan, equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills, tools, and mindset needed to thrive in today’s competitive market.
This online SIYB program is a transformative step for Afghan entrepreneurs, allowing them to develop business ideas, launch new ventures, or enhance existing businesses—all from the comfort of their homes.
After a rigorous selection process, we accepted 36 promising entrepreneurs into two separate training cohorts. These participants gained essential business skills, market insights, and the tools needed to create sustainable enterprises, helping to drive economic growth in Afghanistan.
By introducing this innovative digital learning platform, I aimed to bridge the gap in entrepreneurship education and provide a flexible and scalable solution for those who may not have access to traditional training programs.
