The increase in construction industry projects comes hand in hand with the demand for painters. Considering the fact that urban Pakistan’s female labour force participation (FLFP) is one of the lowest in the world, Nippon Paint Pakistan’s Nippon Nisa initiative started addressing the situation by training women to empower them to become painters. In collaboration with Hunar Foundation, the Nippon Nisa initiative identified potential women candidates and gave them training both in class and on-the-job. The impactful initiative saw 8 out of 10 candidates graduating as certified painters in December 2021. Meanwhile, 7 out of the 8 graduates are putting their skills to practice in the field today. Once the women have gained the confidence to land themselves in independent projects, the market hopes that the women will be able to help other women by training new candidates in the future.
