🎯 *100 lower-tier BDS Providers Supported to Create Sustainable Business models. Expanding the BDS Ecosystem.*
💥The Business Development Services Provider Network (BDSPN) is proud to announce the successful completion of the *Phase II Business Model co-creation Workshops* implemented under the GIZ-PRUDEV II Programme on *10th–11th June 2026*.
📌Over the two days, *100 lower-tier Business Development Service (BDS) Providers* were supported across *Lira and Gulu* successfully.
✅ 50 participants supported in Lira
✅ 50 participants supported in Gulu
✅ Participants drawn from 12 districts across Northern Uganda
💥The co- creation workshops brought together lower-tier BDS providers from *Lira, Dokolo, Oyam, Kole, Otuke, Amolatar, Apac, Gulu, Adjumani, Omoro, Amuru, and Nwoya*, equipping them with practical skills in business model development, sustainable service delivery, impact tracking, reporting, and alignment with emerging national BDS standards.
📌Beyond capacity strengthening, the programme has created a strong pipeline for onboarding these providers into the BDSPN ecosystem, contributing to the expansion of the Network’s membership base and increasing its capacity to respond to the growing Business Development Service needs of grassroots entrepreneurs, MSMEs, youth, women-led enterprises, and farmer organizations across Northern Uganda.
💥As these lower-tier providers become more connected, visible, and integrated within BDSPN structures, they will play an even greater role in delivering quality, accessible, and impactful BDS services to communities that need them most.
*💥100 lower-tier BDS Providers supported. A Growing Network. Stronger Local Support Systems. Greater Impact for Entrepreneurs.*
