Coca-Cola Nepal said it would re-commence its Saksham training programme introduced last year, as Saksham 2.0, which intends to strengthen and empower 1,000 women grocery retailers and owners of eating and drinking establishments across the country through a one-day training session. 

“Saksham 2022, was launched in March 2022 with a vision of enhancing entrepreneurial knowledge and capacity building of micro and small-scale women entrepreneurs in and outside the Kathmandu Valley,” it said in a statement. 

“It created a platform for over 1,000 women to learn from fellow retailers and share insights to run their businesses more efficiently.” Saksham 2.0 aims to support digital innovation and technology for gender equality.
