What the grant funds
Based on funding availability, this project will provide training for 100 young entrepreneurs and provide them with knowledge and resources to engage in the digital economy. The project aims to mitigate the lack of training opportunities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) in areas such as online content creation and monetization. Through this project, we aim to promote appreciation in our target audience of young influencers and journalists for the U.S. commitment to freedom of speech through provision of a platform that boosts their content creation skills, generates income, and increases commerce in the province.
