GIZ & Dhriiti start application process for Her&Now Cohort 3.0 for women entrepreneurs in Northeast India

Dhriiti-The Courage Within, in partnership with the German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, has announced the launch of its application to the third batch of Project Her&Now for Northeast India.

The Her&Now project promotes aspiring and existing women entrepreneurs with incubation programme. Designed as a 7 month fully-funded programme, the selected women entrepreneurs are supported to equip themselves to build on their business ideas, grow and scale their ventures.

Launched in October 2019, the project has supported 190 women entrepreneurs from the region through two batches during this period. The 2nd cohort will be graduating in March this year. The support programme for the 3rd and final cohort will commence on April this year.

The Her&Now project, which is a one-of-a-kind gender-sensitised support programmes, provide opportunity to women entrepreneurs to learn from mentors and industry experts through a series of capacity building sessions, one-to-one mentoring and customised support including foundational, market information and application-based learning. The programme provides a platform for women entrepreneurs to connect, network and access support from other entrepreneurs and stakeholders.

Recently, Dhriiti-The Courage Within and GIZ has come together with Rang De, a peer-to-peer lending platform, to provide alternate source of financial accessibility for women entrepreneurs under Her&Now.

“GIZ’s Her&Now acceleration program by Dhriiti –The Courage Within is super useful in optimising our enterprise's business plan and has given us the insights, necessary to make better business decisions. I would recommend Her&Now program to all the social entrepreneurs as well as other promising women entrepreneurs whose venture gives societal impact in the community development,” said Kshetrimayum Vedmani Devi, Founder, VedamAgro, Manipur.

“Our support programmes in the North Eastern Region aim to create an enabling infrastructure for women entrepreneurs. Additionally, we continue to invest in other initiatives that address critical gaps in the system, such as access to finance. We are happy to do our bit towards creating a robust ecosystem for women-led entrepreneurship, in the region,” said Ullas Marar, Head of Project Her&Now, GIZ.

“We have had a wonderful journey for the last 2 years with 190 inspiring women entrepreneurs from the North East Region. We have seen the women entrepreneur community grow and support each other. 2020 was a difficult year and Her&Now was able to bring in timely support to keep the women led enterprises alive and thriving. Dhriiti, GIZ and Her&Now are striving to build a robust ecosystem for women entrepreneurs in the region and enable them to access national and global opportunities,” said Nidhi Gupta, Executive Director, Dhriiti – The Courage Within.

GIZ is implementing the project, ‘Economic Empowerment of Women Entrepreneurs and Start-ups by Women’ in the country under the name of ‘Her & Now’, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and in partnership with the Indian Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MoSDE). The objective of the project is to improve the overall framework conditions for women-led businesses in India. The project is being implemented in Rajasthan, Telangana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and North East Region. Dhriiti- The Courage Within is the implementation partner for North East Region.
