The Enterprise Development Scheme is a self-enhancing initiative with particular focus on people living with disabilities (PWDs) and those directly taking care of them (in cases where it's difficult for the PWD to practically run a business), in Nigeria.
It is designed to offer financial and enterprise management education and support, including finance, to PWDs with current businesses that can benefit from such assistance.
The finance provision is provided on the basis of commercial viability with the intent of growing such small enterprises.
