Abstract:

Poverty is multi-faceted and affects people's standard of living in all its different dimensions (UNDP, 2021). Therefore, different forms of capital (including human, natural, financial, social and physical capital) are needed for sustainable livelihoods (DFID,1999). The Ford Resource and Engagement Centre (FREC) programme, is one of the strategies that aims to mentor entrepreneurs and help them start or grow micro-businesses that can become self-sustainable and improved livelihoods.
