Gaza, Mozambique – Entrepreneurs in Gaza have become the latest group of aspiring traders to develop their business skills and set up their enterprises for growth with the support of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) in Mozambique.
Following training in Matola-Gare, Nampula and Beira, where CCBA empowered a total of 98 women and youth, we have now moved the training programme to Gaza, where 44 women and youth have been trained.
The participants were provided with business starter kits, including an ice box and supplies of beverages, after graduating from the training programme provided by AIESEC, an international youth-run and led, not-for-profit organisation. The two full days of training, supported by CCBA, covered sales, planning and budgeting, and business modelling.
“At CCBA, we are committed to operating with integrity, creating shared value for our business and the communities we call home,” said general manager of CCBA in Mozambique, Duncan Wyness.
“Our business is centred on a local approach – we produce locally, distribute locally and where possible, source locally. Our aspiration is not only to reflect the diversity of the communities where we operate but also to help build a better shared future.”
“People are at the centre of everything we do, from our employees to those who touch our business to the communities we call home. Community involvement allows us to bring positive, measurable change to both the communities in which we operate and to our business,” Wyness concluded.
