ANDE provides its members with a wide range of resources to support Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs), including training and workshops, a library of evidence and guidance, convening spaces for practitioners, and funding opportunities.
Ande conducts and supports research to answer crucial questions for practitioners and funders in the SGB sector. Our research activities, including the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative, Knowledge Hub, SGB Evidence Fund, and flagship publications such as the State of the Sector reports and ecosystem snapshots, help bridge the knowledge gap for SGB support organizations.
ANDE partners with donors to fund organizations supporting SGBs in developing economies. The funding encourages innovative investments and explores how small businesses can contribute to the sustainable development goals.
ANDE’s groups, including Learning Labs and Action Labs, are neutral convening spaces for diverse practitioners to share best practices and new research, discuss hot topics, and learn from one another. They also offer a venue for joint research or action on key issues. Most are open only to ANDE members.

From flagship trainings like Investment Manager Training and SCALE 360 to member showcases, research dissemination, Access and Opportunity Learning Lab, and Climate and Environment Learning Lab, the report captures key milestones, member voices, and regional insights that shaped 2025. It also reflects on the collective progress made by ecosystem builders, investors, and partners working together to unlock capital, scale solutions, and drive inclusive economic growth—while setting the stage for deeper collaboration and impact in 2026.
