ILO-certified training that holds past month four.

Aspire delivers accredited SIYB, Financial Education, and Women in Digital Business programs—not adapted workshops. Each cohort ends with internationally recognised certificates and a business model built to last.

— What We Deliver

Four certified program lines. One coherent system.

ILO SIYB

Start and Improve Your Business

The ILO SIYB suite—Generate, Start, Improve, Expand—delivered by accredited Aspire trainers. Participants leave with a tested business plan and the operational skills to execute it.

ILO Financial Education

Financial literacy built into the business model

Certified Financial Education modules that move beyond budgeting basics—covering savings discipline, credit management, and record-keeping that development partners can audit and report against.

ILO Women in Digital Business

Digital skills that open formal markets

The ILO WIDB program equips women entrepreneurs with e-commerce, digital marketing, and mobile-money management skills—linked to real market access pathways, not just digital literacy certificates.

/ Business Advisory

The full compliance cycle, not just the registration form.

Legal registration, financial reporting, tax responsibility, and growth planning—delivered as a connected advisory sequence. SMEs and NGO partners use this service to build institutions that satisfy auditors and investors alike.

Across a decade of work, Aspire has supported business formalisation and compliance advisory in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and partner-funded programs across Central and East Africa.
