Establishment of a Centre for Entrepreneurship Promotion for Income Generation Activities (CEPIGA) Project.
Introduction
Entrepreneurship is growing as a viable career path available to the majority of youth, women and people with disability along Kibaha district areas in Tanzania as a panacea towards income poverty and unemployment syndrome.
