Sierra Leone and Ghana
The programme involves a London-run organisation taking a group of 20 people from the African Diaspora (UK / USA) to Sierra Leone and Ghana for a two-week period in each country. The group will work with local grass-root entrepreneurs (with a particular focus on women and youth groups), share their diverse experiences with local groups of grass-root entrepreneurs interested in expanding or making their businesses run more effectively. The Diaspora group will be involved in training-of-trainers around business skills and also run business planning surgeries.
The objective of the programme is two-fold: For more information, contact Christine Matambo on +44 (0)20 7587 3900.
1. To create jobs through small and medium enterprises (SME) development, particularly for the youth of Sierra Leone
2. To enable people from across the African Diaspora to gain knowledge of local networks and invest in these local small and medium enterprises.
On their return, the group of 20 will continue to provide support for these, hopefully, burgeoning local businesses via emails and conference calls.
