GROW Project
GROW supports women-owned micro and small enterprises to become more productive and grow. It uses a package of services rather than a single benefit, including skills, business support, market and trade services, work-based learning and access-to-finance pathways.
In plain language
What this programme is for
GROW supports women-owned micro and small enterprises to become more productive and grow. It uses a package of services rather than a single benefit, including skills, business support, market and trade services, work-based learning and access-to-finance pathways.
Enterprise support where target and eligibility rules apply.
Possible support
What the programme may provide
- Entrepreneurship, technical and sector skills
- Mentorship, networking, trade facilitation and business services
- Finance and competitive support products where a specific window and eligibility criteria apply
Who it may serve
Relevance & eligibility context
Women entrepreneurs with women-owned micro and small enterprises, including eligible refugee women and women in refugee-hosting communities. Each GROW product has its own criteria.
Important: Verify current programme requirements.
How to approach the route
A programme should show you the next steps, not leave you with only a name.
Identify the GROW service that matches the enterprise need.
Check the official GROW site for the current application or service window.
Apply through the named GROW platform, Women Entrepreneurship Platform or participating institution.
Treat training, finance, grants and other products as separate eligibility decisions.
Before you act
What still needs checking
GROW has several products. Qualification for one service does not automatically qualify an enterprise for a loan, grant or another product.
Coverage / implementation: GROW states that it operates across Uganda’s districts, cities and municipalities; individual products may still have specific conditions.
Responsible route
Where to start
Potential programme linkage only; no implied entitlement.
Government system / workflow: Responsible GROW programme system
