    Inclusive entrepreneurship improves access to the three key pillars of entrepreneurial success; networks, capital and markets, and creates the roadmap for a more sustainable and equitable future for all entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

    By providing equal opportunities, we increase confidence in persons with disabilities and cultivate a sense of belonging. This makes for positive growth attitudes, and despite any disability, a person will pursue and work on their goals, thus contributing positively to society.<\/p>\n

    \n

    It is against this backdrop that Strathmore University Business School (SBS) partnered with the Association for Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK) to design The Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme for Persons with Disability,<\/em><\/strong> a 6-month training programme, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme for Persons with Disability will over the next 5 months train 40 entrepreneurs from Nairobi living with disabilities to build the capacity of their enterprises by improving their business management skills to enhance business growth and foster sustainability.<\/p>\n

    The Programme will further help in advancing the inclusion and participation of Persons with Disability (PWDs) in entrepreneurship programmes to highlight the significant role they play in contributing to a robust entrepreneurship landscape in Kenya and demonstrate the role PWD Associations and private sector firms can play to facilitate this.<\/p>\n
