The ANDE West Africa Chapter is proud to announce an upcoming bilingual convening tagged ‘Made in West Africa – Creative Industry’ in Senegal. The event will build on discussions from the first edition of ‘Made in WAF’ event which was held on the 9th of February, 2023 in partnership with Entrepreneurial Solutions Partners (ESP), that allowed actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem discuss development opportunities for the Ivorian and African private sector. 

The upcoming “Made in WAF – Creative Industry” will include an interactive program that will examine the Senegalese enabling environment and review the policies currently in place, and what needs to be done to transform the creative sector and stimulate economic growth in the region.
