Toro Development Network Programme Highlights

ICT  Research & ResourceCentre:

Innovation & Entrepreneurship:

The ICT Resource & Research Centre has a Research program on the available infrastructure and technology in the Rwenzori (Toro) region, Uganda and an SME Business Incubating Program which is aimed at supporting young entrepreneurs to successfully invest their limited resources in profitable and sustainable businesses. Activities include ICT training, ICT-enabled financial, management and marketing training, knowledge sharing and networking with other Business Incubators worldwide. These Small & Medeum Enterprises/Businesses will graduate after a determined period of time to enable other upcoming ones have access to our services.

Entrepreneurship provides an important avenue for expanding the economies of any developing community. Although capital is needed to kick-start entrepreneurial endeavors, an understanding of the marketplace, application of sound business practices, software applications, and effective information technology use can help entrepreneurs put investments to good use. This program strives to achieve the above through the establishment of an SME Business Incubating Centre in the region

Civil Society Building:

Micro Finance Credit Scheme:

This is a new lobbying and advocacy programme that is aimed at building a free expression capacity of the local population, especially youth and women, who are always marginalized; be able to demand accountabilty from the local leadership. The programme also  campaigns for budgeting policy reforms which favour youth empowerment at local government levels and leadership skills training among the young people. Avenues for implementing the above include radio talk shows, focus group discussions and training workshops.

 

 

The Micro Finance Credit Programme will focus on expanding the opportunities for youth, men and women to have access to financial credit facilities. ToroDev's plan is to mobilize funds from other loaning financial institutions and its donor partners in order to make these funds available for small scale young, men and women entrepreneurs.
