ANDE elevates its members’ capacity to support Small and Growing Businesses through evidence-based practices. We focus on building resilient ecosystems that support diverse entrepreneurs, fostering local, inclusive economic growth and global prosperity.
ANDE members provide critical financial, educational, and business support services to small and growing businesses (SGBs) based on the conviction that SGBs will create jobs, stimulate long-term economic growth, and produce environmental and social benefits. Ultimately, we believe that SGBs can help lift countries out of poverty.
Our strategy is built on two core principles designed to maximize our impact and drive meaningful change in the entrepreneurial sector:
1. Building member capacity to create impact.
2. Strengthening entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Building member capacity to create impact
We empower our members to better support small and growing businesses (SGBs) through:
Rigorous impact measurement
Equipping members through training, one on one support, and peer learning forums with the tools and methodologies to measure and showcase their impact, enabling them to improve their performance and demonstrate value to donors and partners.
Community of Best Practices
Facilitating a network of world-class organizations to exchange knowledge, implement best practices, and collaborate within a global community of peers.
Global visibility and advocacy
Providing platforms for members to share their successes, contribute to research, and amplify the importance of SGBs in shaping sustainable development.
Facilitated fundraising collaborations
Connecting members with aligned funders and partners to explore funding opportunities, build strategic alliances, and drive resources toward impactful projects.
is key to our strategy
