Enterprise Development Programme
Sustained and inclusive economic growth can drive progress, create decent jobs for all and improve living standards. Globally, real GDP per capita and labour productivity have increased, and unemployment has dropped back to pre-financial-crisis levels. However, sluggish growth overall has prompted a rethinking of economic and social policies to achieve the transformational objectives of Goal # 8 so as to meet economic growth targets in least developed countries; increase employment opportunities, especially for young people; reduce inequalities across regions, age groups and genders; decrease informal employment; and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers.
To contribute in the SDG # 8, TIME has initiated Enterprise Development Programme which is the most innovative programme of TIME working on sustainable businesses for urban and rural economic development. We support and guide where the potential is high, impactful and sustainable. The purpose of this programme is to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. The core functions of EDP are given below:
- Organizational Development/New Business Startup/Upgrading Existing Organizational Systems
- Youth Enterprise Development Training Programme
- Micro Financing
