UNITAR plays a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurship through various initiatives and learning courses. Recognizing entrepreneurship as a key driver for sustainable development, UNITAR focuses on instilling an entrepreneurial mindset and providing essential training.
Entrepreneurship is viewed as a constant learning process that shapes attitudes, skills, and competencies, contributing to creativity, innovation, and economic growth. The General Assembly, in its resolution 73/225, acknowledges the significant contribution of entrepreneurship to sustainable development, encompassing job creation, economic growth, innovation, and addressing social and environmental challenges within the context of the 2030 Agenda.
The Middle Americas Zone (MAZ) is a crucial region to start implementing entrepreneurship sustainable and inclusive actions. Recognizing the critical role entrepreneurship plays in sustainable development, AB InBev has aligned its sustainability priorities with the overarching goals of UNITAR. A needs assessment conducted among retailers in the Middle Americas Zone by AB InBev has identified four key areas for improvement: Digitization, Leadership, Finance, and Operations.
In response to these identified needs, the UNITAR-ABI partnership is set to board on the creation of innovative Entrepreneurship Training Courses, which will have comprehensive resources, integrating essential components to fortify retailers and entrepreneurs with the skills needed to succeed locally. The ultimate goal is to foster sustainable economic growth by empowering participants to apply their newfound knowledge and skills in their businesses.
