USAID CATALYZE Market Systems for Growth (MS4G), in partnership with Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), will host an ecosystem convening on 31st July, 2024, from 8 am to 4 pm EAT at the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, Addis Ababa.

The convening will focus on Enhancing Access to Finance for Entrepreneurship Support Organizations (ESOs) with the objective to actively involve, mobilize, and enhance the capabilities of ESOs & other ecosystem stakeholders, including private sector partners and business advisory service providers. The goal is to expand the availability and improve the efficacy of business support services, aligning them with international best practices.

MS4G’s interventions improve the business performance and growth of enterprises that contribute to improved food security and WASH outcomes. Specifically, MS4G works to strengthen the enterprise ecosystem by improving the quality and accessibility of advisory services, supporting value chain linkages in key sectors, and connecting Ethiopian ESOs with a global network of practitioners. 

MS4G has partnered with ANDE to coordinate action, facilitate knowledge-sharing connections, and collaboration through ecosystem convenings on topics affecting the ecosystem. 

We look forward to your participation!
