Developing local enterprises

Strong local enterprises are the foundation of sustainable technical solutions. PRACTICA promotes a supply chain approach, aimed at establishing strong local networks of producers, operators and supporting organisations. By systematically building capacities at all levels, we enhance the local market for technologies, including the necessary maintenance and quality control systems.

Our extensive experience in supporting and creating local enterprises makes us a valuable partner in programs where local enterprise development is key. We provide numerous training programs that build up both the technical and business skills of local enterprises, enabling them to run their business independently. We engage with enterprises for the long term – including various training sessions adapted to the capacity of specific enterprises.

We have made publicly available a number of manuals that support our trainings. They can be found in our publications section.
