Participants included small business owners, employees, and local government representatives, fostering a collaborative approach tailored to community needs. Beginning with an observational phase in June 2023, the program assessed local demand for digital marketing and financial management. Practical workshops facilitated by experts addressed these needs, alongside efforts to enhance local products such as ginger, coffee, perfume, and cricket farming.
