I am excited to share a series of videos that highlight the critical role of entrepreneurship and adult education in Afghanistan. Recently, I had the opportunity to appear on various Afghan TV channels as a trainer and expert in these fields, discussing the significance of initiatives like the Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) program, implemented by the Afghan National Association for Adult Education (ANAFAE) and supported by DVV International.
In these discussions, I emphasized how entrepreneurship serves as a vital pathway for economic empowerment, especially for women and marginalized communities in Afghanistan. Through programs like SIYB, we equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge necessary to launch and sustain their businesses, fostering a culture of innovation and resilience.
The videos cover a range of topics, including:
The importance of adult education in enhancing skills and employability
The impact of entrepreneurship on local economies
Success stories from SIYB participants who have turned their ideas into thriving businesses
Insights into the ongoing efforts by ANAFAE and DVV International to promote education and entrepreneurship in Afghanistan
Please note that these are the only videos I could find on the internet; the others were live broadcasts that do not have available recordings. I believe they are crucial in raising awareness about the potential of adult education and entrepreneurship to transform lives and communities. I invite you to watch the series and join the dialogue on how we can continue to support and uplift the entrepreneurial spirit in Afghanistan.
