Lomé-based Incubator, Energy Generation, launches training program for women only

(Togo First) - Energy Generation, an incubator based in Lome, is launching an entrepreneurship excellence program for women only. The Wenyonu program as it is called will teach Togolese women solar entrepreneurship to empower them.

In this framework, the incubator issued this month a call for registration to select 80 women across Togo’s five economic regions. Selected applicants will be trained as technical commercials in the solar energy sector.

Backed by the PISCCA Fund (established by the French embassy in Togo), the program will provide technical training in sizing, setting up, and maintaining PV solar systems. Personalized coaching and entrepreneurial training will also be given, and business projects could be financed through a loan mechanism.

“Women who have a business project could get seed funding,” Energy Generation said. “The whole program will take place in Lomé and is free. Some money will be provided for women picked to attend the program, to reduce their spending, enable them to come to Lomé and stay throughout the training.”

This is a 3-month training (January to March 2022) that will be held on Energy Generation’s campus in Lomé. For those who need it, the incubator’s support could be extended to December 2022.
