ANDE’s principles of building member capacity to create impact and strengthening entrepreneurial ecosystems, are realized through support across several themes:

ANDE’s themes leverage its unique position as the only organization that convenes the full spectrum of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, with close connections with funders, investors, capacity-building organizations, governments, and research institutions, to drive collective action that can accelerate positive impact aligned with the most pressing needs of the sector and the SDGs at the core of our strategy.

Through a systems approach, ANDE combines the power of its network with actionable knowledge, strategic advocacy and communications, and catalytic financial resources to accelerate poverty alleviation and transitions to more inclusive and green economies. Further, ANDE deploys resources as a lean venture would: defining a learning agenda, testing hypotheses through a diverse portfolio of activities and investments, and sharing learnings back out with the field.

ANDE cannot do this work alone. That is why we partner with strategic global and local organizations to create and implement initiatives.
