As part of the ongoing Sida–SpringAid Project on Women and Youth Entrepreneurship, Job Creation and Economic training, a team of SpringAid International Development staff led by the Executive Director Teddy Ihens, made advocacy visits to the Chairman of Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area -Hon Amb Larry Chikwe and that of Obowo – Barr Johnson Obioma Ehirim.
 
The visits provided an opportunity to:
Present the goals and expected results of the Sida–SpringAid Project.
Strengthen collaboration with local government leadership.
Secure community-level support for women and youth who are being trained to start, manage, and grow sustainable businesses.
Reinforce shared commitment to inclusive economic development and poverty eradication.
 
During the engagements, SpringAid highlighted the project’s focus on entrepreneurship training, job creation, mentorship, and start-up support, targeting women and young people across the participating LGAs.
 
We appreciate the warm reception and constructive discussions held with the local government leadership, which reaffirm the importance of locally led development and strong partnerships in achieving lasting impact.
 
Together, we are building pathways for women and youth to thrive, create jobs, and contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of people.
