Training on Incense Production Incense production is an attractive income-generating activity for women because they can produce it inside their homes, and they can profit from the production with a relatively modest investment of labor. This year, WACN provided a five-day training on business planning to enable cooperative members to prepare a business plan to establish a microenterprise producing incense sticks for sale in local communities.
Twenty-one women participated in this workshop, facilitated by staff members from the Business Development Resource Center, Nepal. • Areas of training included: • How to identify the local target market • How to deliver this product to local communities • How to provide good service quality to customers • How to manage a well-run microenterprise • Risks involved in managing a microenterprise
During the training participants were divided into three groups in which they created a business plan together to present to the other groups.
