Our Programmes
Internationally recognised enterprise development programmes delivered through certified facilitation across Nigeria.
Our Approach
Afifen Business Consult delivers business training and advisory support for entrepreneurs, SMEs, women-led businesses, and organisations that support enterprise development.
Our programmes are based on internationally recognised frameworks developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO). They are delivered with a practical understanding of the Nigerian business environment.
We support entrepreneurs at different stages. Some are developing a viable business idea. Some are preparing to start properly. Others need to improve operations, manage finances, access markets, build an online presence, or plan for expansion.
Programmes are available online or in person. They can be delivered directly to entrepreneurs or through partnerships with development organisations, NGOs, business associations, financial institutions, and government agencies.
