The Economic Opportunities Programme provides socio-economically marginalised people with low education and skills with the necessary knowledge, competencies and tools to access the economy through informal or alternative income streams.

EOP targets adults, with a specific focus on women and those living in socio-economically marginalised communities.

This intervention comprises four programme modules that focus on the basics of small business and entrepreneurship and innovative thinking around developing new business opportunities. It equips participants with basic financial and digital literacy skills.

The programme improves the participant’s ability to generate an income and make a living by assisting them to:

• Identify potential income streams in his/her community
• Map out and implement a basic income generating activity
• Use basic financial methods and tools for personal and income generating activities
• Use basic digital technology to increase access digital to marketplaces and online income generation opportunities
