Entrepreneurship Capacity Building Programme (Entrepreneurship-CaB) developed by SESRIC in 2026, following the establishment of the OIC Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Support Agencies Network (OIC-SMENET), to compliment the efforts of OIC Member States in entrepreneurship development. Accounting for over 90% of employment, MSMEs play a vital role in economic growth in the OIC countries. With more than 60% of the OIC population under 30, empowering young entrepreneurs is key to unlocking sustainable growth.

Against this backdrop, the Entrepreneurship Capacity Building Programme (Entrepreneurship -CaB) aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices among the member countries, addressing various aspects of entrepreneurship development. Through a variety of modalities, including training courses, workshops, webinars, and study visits, the Entrepreneurship -CaB addresses the existing challenges faced by national institutions in charge of entrepreneurship promotion.
