AUN under the partnership with UNHCR empowered 250 persons of concern (PoCs) with business start-up kits in Maiduguri, Borno State. The PoCs who have been trained for weeks on microbusinesses (such as petty trading, small chops, local pasta making, groundnut oil extraction, commodity grinding, grains selling, vulcanizing, etc), cap making and livestock production, and also received financial literacy and business development training were empowered to start their individual and group businesses today. Also, the PoCs each received in addition to the start-up, a start-up capital of #5000 (livestock), #3000 (micro business) and #10,000 (cap making group).
