The BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) model is a transformative framework for creating jobs and empowering small businesses without ownership. By building and stabilizing business systems for local entrepreneurs, the BOT approach focuses on empowering communities, fostering sustainable growth, and job creation, while reducing dependency on external investments. Unlike traditional entrepreneurship, which centers on ownership, BOT enables self-sufficiency through strategic handover. This model, aligned with MEDA Foundation’s mission, encourages enablement over control, promoting job generation and local empowerment. By adopting this approach, businesses can thrive independently, with a focus on social impact and community well-being, making BOT especially relevant in today’s world.
