Come join us for an ANDE Members Networking Reception at Halcyon in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, October 16, 2024!
Thanks to the incredible efforts of our team, the unwavering dedication of our members, and the generous support from our esteemed sponsors, the ANDE West Africa Conference was a resounding success! Held for the first time in Accra, Ghana, the conference brought together over 150 participants from across and beyond the region. Together, they explored how the growth of West Africa's Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) can be effectively facilitated by the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This learning lab will seek to provide a space for comprehensive discussion, knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. We aim for it to act as a platform for intermediaries who are working to support entrepreneurs and innovators looking to create decent, quality jobs. We will focus on understanding what the different aspects of a ‘quality job’ are, the role that intermediaries play in supporting SGBs to create these and what are metrics that could be used to measure progress around decent job creation.
