The government has launched the NYOTA AGPO Digital Training Programme, targeting more than 600,000 young entrepreneurs, women and persons with disabilities to equip them with skills to access government procurement opportunities.
The programme, rolled out on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, is the fourth component of the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) Project and seeks to address barriers preventing eligible businesses from benefiting from government tenders.
Principal Secretary for the State Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Susan Mang’eni, said the initiative would expand the reach of the NYOTA Project to more than 820,000 beneficiaries, building on the ongoing Business Support, On-the-Job Experience (OJE) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) components.
