“The Nyota Project will roll out the Business Support component Classroom training in the last cohort covering 17 counties from Central Kenya, Nairobi, North Eastern, and Coastal regions,” the project stated.
With this phase, the project will have covered 46 counties, with only Elgeyo Marakwet pending due to landslides. Training will be scheduled at a later date.
NYOTA Project reported that 42,735 trainees have been invited for this final classroom phase, spread across 510 wards, in line with the requirement of 70 trainees per ward. Participants must attend at least three of the four training days in their selected constituency to qualify for the business grant.
“The selected beneficiaries for the classroom training have been contacted directly and are required to attend at least 3 out of the 4 days in their respective constituencies to qualify for the disbursement of the business grant,” the project said.
All constituency training centres are ready to host participants and facilitate the subsequent disbursement of start-up capital.
