KABUL (SW) – A number of young people from all over Afghanistan have presented 46 plans for entrepreneurship in a two-day program called “Entrepreneurial Camp” in Kabul.
This program was organized by “Ailso” Institute of Legal and Economic Studies and Bakhtar University. According to the organizers of this program, the purpose of setting up an entrepreneurship camp is to find creative young talent and gain wealth for them and discover new markets.
Officials in this program said that entrepreneurial projects were presented in sewing sectors, small businesses, creation of digital media, how to use natural and agricultural resources in Afghanistan. Young people competed for approval by the judges for the implementation of their plans. According to the organizers, girls also had a large presence in this program and created designs that they presented online.
Aryamal is the director of a group of young people from Balkh, whose team’s plan received the most approval from the people among the 34 provinces. He said: “We work on digitalization or the latest technology. We want all cases in Afghanistan to proceed electronically from now on.”
On the other hand, Sidramesh Latifi, the head of the women’s entrepreneurship project team from Herat, said that the women’s project is based on their handiwork. “The ladies work on their plan. For example, they make flower pots, bracelets and trash cans. In the next programs, women should come directly and express their plans.”
Nematullah Ehsani is a team manager from Daikundi. He said that his team’s plan is in the field of almond processing. He added: “When 80% of Daikendi’s product is almonds, our plan is to advance the processes so that the labor market is provided to the people at the best price and income.”
In order to implement their plans in the labor market, the teams creating entrepreneurial plans have asked for all-round support from the authorities.
Officials in the entrepreneurship camp program say that out of 46 projects, three projects will be approved by the judges as the best projects and will be implemented by supporting institutions and the economic sector in terms of technical and financial support.
Mohammad Hanif Farzan, head of AILSO Legal and Study Institute, said on the occasion that the youth are the main driving force of the economy and each team should provide at least 50 jobs in their plan.
On the other hand, the officials in the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment have also promised the young people whose plans are finalized that they will fully cooperate in the implementation of their plans in the labor market.
