ANDE has been mapping ecosystems for more than 10 years. Now, we’ve partnered with EcoMap to offer more user friendly, regularly updated maps that help entrepreneurs and support organizations effectively navigate the various resources available in developing economies around the world. Our goal is to improve the visibility and accessibility of ecosystems for all, one mapping at a time.
Click on the map below to navigate to our ecosystem maps. The country maps feature interactive, filterable web directories that catalogue a broad array of ecosystem stakeholders, including investors, entrepreneur support organizations, academic entities, and donors across the mapped ecosystems.
Every entrepreneur operates within an ecosystem that determines the access to talent, finance, and markets that they need to grow their business. ANDE’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Maps serve as a tool for stakeholders to learn about the organizations providing support to small and growing businesses (SGBs) in a specific city, region, or country.
This mapping identified 140 organizations and nearly 170 distinct resources supporting entrepreneurs across Ethiopia. The online mapping provides a filterable directory of these organizations, categorized by sector, location, and support type. The mapping is complemented by a report analyzing the data and synthesizing key trends in the ecosystem.
With support from GIZ, ANDE is pleased to launch the South Africa Townships Ecosystem Map, a new tool designed to improve connectivity within the township entrepreneurial landscapes across the country.
This essential resource includes a filterable web directory of the diverse ecosystem players in South Africa, including investors, entrepreneur support organizations, academic institutions, donors, and more.
The map is available in English and Portuguese.
