what we do
Support Small Businesses (MSMEs)
We help micro, small, and medium enterprises build stronger and more sustainable businesses through practical training, coaching, and ongoing support.
Our support includes:
Basic business and financial skills
Record-keeping and cash management
Help accessing loans, grants, and markets
Continuous mentorship and guidance
Deliver Community-Based Advisory Support
Through trained Village-Based Advisors, we bring trusted advice closer to people — especially in rural and underserved areas.
Our advisors help communities and entrepreneurs to:
Access government and development programmes
Improve business practices
Connect to services, markets, and finance
Strengthen Professional Associations
We work with professional and membership-based associations (such as youth groups, women associations, cooperatives, and professional bodies) to improve how they serve their members and communities.
This project focuses on:
Strengthening organizational leadership and governance
Improving planning, financial management, and accountability
Supporting associations to engage communities more effectively
Promoting public participation in local decision-making
Enhancing public social accountability, so communities can track and influence how public resources are used
Strong professional associations help communities speak with one voice and engage constructively with public institutions.
Promote Civic Awareness and Good Governance
We support communities to understand their rights, responsibilities, and opportunities to participate meaningfully in public processes
Use Research and Innovation for Impact
We use evidence, learning, and local knowledge to design solutions that work and can be scaled to reach more people.
Our Vision
Communities across Africa with strong small businesses, informed citizens, and real access to opportunity
