Over a five-year period, the programme will support the entrepreneurial activities of at least 2,500 female business owners through money and organised training.

A minimum of 500 female entrepreneurs would be trained in business and life skills through the program each year, with the top 100 performers from the pool qualifying for rewards of up to 2 million naira each from a 200 million naira annual fund.

The Flourish Africa training programme was created to educate and equip female entrepreneurs for their entrepreneurial journeys as well as provide them with wings to soar.
