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.
Following deliberations at the Global Annual Conference in Cancún, Mexico, ANDE outlined a focused strategy to meet this moment—one that puts growth back at the center of impact.
Growth is not a competing goal to impact; it is the engine that drives it.
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
We offer value to your team through:
- Access to global peers and convenings: Members gain facilitated access for their whole team to a diverse network of complementary actors and benefit from regular convenings to share insights, learn, and foster collaboration.
- Programmatic opportunities: Through ANDE’s focused programs, members have the chance to delve into thematic areas such as gender equality, climate action, decent work, and economic inclusion, advancing shared goals and driving innovation.
- Targeted communication channels: Amplify your stories across global platforms.
