Save the date! On May 6-7, 2025, we will be convening in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a vibrant hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Overcoming critical challenges, we refined our strategic focus and deepened engagement in local ecosystems—laying the groundwork for more inclusive, impactful, and sustainable entrepreneurship support.
A new policy framework by the Global Entrepreneurship Network and Youth Business International outlines strategic steps to empower and accelerate youth entrepreneurship, focusing on education, policy, and access to resources.
In December, join our flagship regional event to explore strategic regional approaches to support SGBs, impact investing, and innovative financing solutions.
Addressing development challenges requires more than capital. Non-financial support and strategic guidance are essential for SGBs to thrive, creating sustainable, localized growth beyond financial investments.
Are you an ANDE member interested in helping SGBs navigate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) measurement and standards? We are putting out a call for our first working group on this topic!

The McKinsey Global Institute aggregated a richly granular data set of micro-, small-, and medium-size enterprises (MSMEs) and large companies across 12 broad sectors, 68 level-two subsectors, and more than 200 level-three subsectors for 16 countries that account for more than half of global GDP.
In these countries, MSMEs on average have only half the productivity of large companies, and less than that in emerging economies. Raising MSMEs to top-quartile levels relative to large companies represents value equivalent to 5 percent of GDP in advanced economies and 10 percent in emerging economies.
