The Parish chiefs, Town Agents and Agriculture Extension Workers are spearheading formation and implementation of Practical Training Centres (PTCs) and selection of Community Based Facilitators (CBFs) for each enterprise which provide hands-on training, skill development, and enterprise selection guidance to beneficiaries. These centers are intended to alter the approach away from just disbursing funds and toward ensuring that recipients have the capacity, relevance, and sustainability to use the funds effectively for economic transformation, with financing frequently contingent on finishing the training.
