The USAID West Africa Regional Program is cooperating with the African Businesswomen’s Information Service (ABIS) to bring basic computer skills and the World Wide Web to businesswomen in Mali. Many of these entrepreneurs are using computers for the first time.

This free training is supported by USAID’s Office of Women in Development. It is designed for urban and rural business owners and managers with the necessary skills to access the Internet and improve their businesses.
