MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Representatives from Coca-Cola, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE) grace the soft launch of the Safe Store Education.
A component of the Rebuilding Sari-Sari Stores Through Access to Resources and Trade (ReSTART) program, it supports the safe reopening of thousands of sari-sari stores across the country by translating government-issued safety guidelines and protocols into a more simple practical and easily understandable guide for micro-retailers to adapt.
