AIACA has an umbrella initiative of Enterprise Support Programme (ESP) which is geared to address challenges and aims to provide business development and capacity building solutions to craft based enterprises, thus promoting sustainable livelihoods for artisans. Specifically, we provide end-to-end solutions for strengthening the value chain through hands on trainings for artisans/weavers and crafts enterprises on design innovation, business skills development, production management, organization development and formalization, access to finance, promotion and branding, and facilitation of direct access to markets.
Through the Craftmark Certification programme, AIACA supports its Craftmark members with the help of customized business development services under its ESP. This prgramme has an outreach to 23 states of India.
