Summary The purpose of this intervention is to broaden the reach of JEEP as an organization, ensuring that its impact extends to a larger number of beneficiaries in impoverished rural and urban communities requiring environmental conservation initiatives and green business practices. This will be achieved by equipping trained trainers and members with new skills and by incorporating new categories of participants, including young entrepreneurs, students from vocational/technical institutions, universities, and teacher colleges, to become trainers themselves. Concurrently, efforts will be made to enhance existing workshop facilities, refine training modules, and optimize business models for activities conducted at JEEP Folkecenter and in districts where JEEP operates, alongside other NGO/Community-based organizations programs focused on energy and environmental initiatives.
