About the project
Producers in Organized Supply Chain Enterprise
Producers in Organised Supply Chain Enterprise (PROSPER) is designed for social entrepreneurs and primary producers who are working in the natural fiber value chain in Northeast India. Harnessing the immense potential of this region, a Business Enterprise Leadership and Management Programme (BELMP) has been designed for social entrepreneurs who work directly with natural fibres such as jute, bamboo, coconut, eri, water hyacinth, among others, or their related/ value-added products, in the handloom, handicraft and agriculture and allied sectors. The aim is to help social entrepreneurs acquire technical and practical skills to scale their businesses, create market linkages and connect with buyers. Social entrepreneurs will be guided to work closely with their own primary producers/ producer communities to build their capacities.
