FJS and Tetra Tech – the implementing partner of the Climate Adaptation Project funded by USAID, signs a grant agreement on Enterprise Development Programme to support and develop early-stage enterprises in the Maldives.

The purpose of the programme is to help enterprises incorporate, build upon and scale up their Climate Adaptation relevant approaches and innovation. The Enterprise Development Programme is envisaged to comprehensively cover all aspects of business development, as well as help enterprises, develop capacities to further develop their innovation practices into a feasible business product, practice or service that can be scaled up within the organization and/or provided to other enterprises in the sector as a viable product or service. The programme will be targeted towards three key economic sectors – tourism, fisheries, and agriculture.

The programme will encompass developing an awareness and outreach campaign, and an onboarding programme in the North, Central and South of Maldives. Selected enterprises from the onboarding programme will undertake training under the core enterprise development programme. The outreach campaigns are scheduled for November 2022.
