Khalifa Fund hosts first-ever international outreach training workshop in Zanzibar
emirates7 - Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development has officially held their inaugural international capacity building services with a three-day training programme in Zanzibar.

The training programme was attended by Dr. Islam Seif Salim, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Trade and Industrial Development, and commenced with a welcoming speech by Khalifa Marzouqi, UAE Ambassador in Dar Al Salam.

The workshops consisted of expertise training in business planning, entrepreneurship development, financial modelling, idea sourcing, soft skills and business model canvas. This marked Khalifa Fund's first-ever international outreach workshop, which came as a leadership directive from Alia Al Mazrouei, CEO of the Enablement Sector and Non-Financial Services of Khalifa Fund.

In his inaugural speech, Al Marzouqi said, "This occasion reflects the strong, strategic and historic partnership between the two countries."

He highlighted the MoU between Khalifa Fund and the Ministry of Finance and Planning in Zanzibar, which was signed in 2019 under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

"Launching this programme for the first time outside the UAE reflects the tight bond we share with Zanzibar's esteemed government and its ambitious people," Al Marzouqi noted.

Al Mazrouei stated, "The UAE's entrepreneurial ecosystem is currently recognised as the best in the world by the Global Monitoring Index. Thus, we aim to transfer our knowledge and share our successful entrepreneurism model with the wider world. We look forward to producing more workshops to the enterprise talents in Zanzibar, as well as across the 23 countries that Khalifa Fund currently operates in."

Khalifa Fund's international outreach efforts commenced in 2015, and have been brought about by strategic partnerships that support knowledge transfer and economic growth both in the UAE and globally, through international outreach in 23 countries.

This expansion of Khalifa Fund's global efforts came through implementing government directives and in partnership with official agencies in countries, which aided in knowledge-based, economic growth for SMEs.
