READINESS PROGRAMME
African entrepreneurship is central to Africa’s future prosperity. The biggest business opportunities in the coming decade will be created by Africans who start businesses, generate jobs and wealth, and capture growth opportunities. While entrepreneurship is growing rapidly in Africa, entrepreneurs continue to face significant domestic challenges that impede their efforts, including a lack of access to funding, support services, skills training, and infrastructure, as well as policy barriers. This shared belief, and our common view that each of us has a role to play in turning Africa’s challenges into opportunities, have led to Setup A Startup to launch the Investment Readiness Programme (IRP).
