Building on the foundation established in Phase 1, Phase 2 focused on strengthening participants’ facilitation and training skills through WE-R module familiarization, participatory tools, micro-teaching, coaching women entrepreneurs, managing challenging situations, district roll-out planning, and trainer competency assessment.
The programme concluded with a Trainer Commitment and Closing Ceremony, where participants received certificates in recognition of their successful participation. Together, we are building stronger capacity to support women entrepreneurs and resilient businesses across Sri Lanka.
