On February 3-5, 2015, CLDP conducted a three-day training workshop on business registration, business financing, and commercial contract drafting for an audience of 30 aspiring businesswomen. Organized in conjunction with Kardan University of Afghanistan, the program content was tailored to develop the skills necessary for aspiring businesswomen to start their own business, avoid legal disputes, and better manage business finances. Topics included: business registration, essential contract terms, dispute resolution mechanisms, accessing loans, financing regulations, and security interests. This training is part of a larger initiative called "From Aspiring Businesswomen to Successful Business Owners", which aims to equip Afghan aspiring business women with the tools necessary to develop their prospective businesses and promote economic growth in Afghanistan. Through this initiative, CLDP and Kardan University intend to train and mentor 30 aspiring businesswomen to develop their own successful businesses.
