Micro and Small Enterprises
At the heart of our mission at AIS lies a dedication to empowering Micro and Small Enterprises
(MSEs) with the knowledge, skills, and entrepreneurial spirit to thrive profitably and sustainably.
Our multifaceted approach encompasses tailored business development and entrepreneurship
training and mentorship, extension services, and corporate training programs to create a robust
an ecosystem where enterprises can flourish.

Fostering competence and collaboration
Our journey towards empowering MSEs begins with a focus on building competence and
fostering collaboration among local communities. Through our agri-based extension information
sharing and training programs, we actively engage with farmer organizations and communities,
enhancing skill-based competencies that lead to productive employment and increased income.
The cornerstone of this initiative is training village advisors who act as catalysts for knowledge
dissemination. These village advisors facilitate Training of Trainers (TOT) programs for farmer
organizations, complementing government extension services at the county level.
By increasing skill levels and enhancing agricultural practices, we enable farmers and rural
communities to harness the full potential of their land, improve their livelihoods, and strengthen
their resilience in the face of climatic challenges.

Elevating corporate skills
To further extend our reach and impact, AIS ensures that its capacity-building solutions adhere
to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics mandated. Our corporate training programs
are designed to elevate the skills of individuals and institutions, promoting value-based changes,
nurturing professional competencies, and fostering continuous learning.
We offer corporate courses that cover a wide range of areas, including sales management,
marketing, customer service, and teamwork. Through these programs, we equip professionals
and organizations with the tools they need to excel in today’s competitive business landscape.

Unlocking opportunities for SMEs
At AIS, we firmly believe that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of
economic development. Therefore, our Small and Medium Enterprise Development Training
program is tailored to empower entrepreneurs eager to enhance their capacity for trade, exports,
investments, and market access.
Our comprehensive training initiatives are designed to prepare, nurture, and expand enterprises,
enabling them to seize opportunities in emerging local and international markets. We provide
SMEs with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to thrive in a dynamic business
environment. By supporting these enterprises, we contribute to their growth and the overall
economic vitality of the regions they serve.

AIS: A catalyst for growth and resilience

AIS is a catalyst for growth, resilience, and sustainability in the communities we serve. We
recognize the immense potential of MSEs, farmer organizations, and local enterprises to drive
economic progress and improve livelihoods. By providing them with the necessary tools, skills,
and knowledge, we empower these individuals and organizations to create lasting, positive
change.
Through our programs, we strengthen local economies, reduce dependency on aid, and promote
the transition to sustainable trade and investment. At AIS, we are unwavering in our commitment
to building stronger communities, fostering economic growth, and driving lasting change
through empowerment and education.
