partnership means Jua Kali artisans can acquire specific skills suited to their
trade for a small fee and that an artisan who has a specific job can walk into
a NITA Centre to use the specialized equipment suited for that job and pay a
small fee.

program will also allow skilled artisans but who have no papers to be certified
and be officially recognized as professional workers.it is an open program. One
only needs to go to NITA and demonstrate the skills that they have. And NITA
will use their own systems to certify them

significantly played by the Jua Kali sector, enabling the players in the
industry through skills up-skilling ad re-skilling is necessary. This way, the
workers can produce higher quality goods and services that can also be exported
