About the Nourishing Africa Entrepreneur Support Program 2021
The Entrepreneur Support Program is organized by Nourishing Africa, in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation and the United States African Development Foundation.
The Nourishing Africa Entrepreneur Support Program caters to young Nigerian entrepreneurs who want to rebuild and strengthen their agri-food business.
The Program aims to help grassroots and MSMEs, particularly women-led businesses to rebuild and strengthen their businesses after the impact of the pandemic.
The seminar training is tailored towards building businesses to be more resilient and scalable.
The scheme is not for businesses at the idea stage, but for already existing agri-food businesses.
The training will be done online. It will run for 8 days.
Training will be between 3 – 4 hours per day.
The Program will be carried out in four phases:
From the initial applications received, 800 applicants will be selected to participate in taking the Online Business Resilience Diagnostic tool, which will help them identify the areas of their businesses where cracks may exist, and provide recommendations on how to fix any identified cracks as well as rebuild their business model to be more resilient.
500 out of the participants are then selected to proceed to undergo an online 8-day seminar focused on building and strengthening their agri-food businesses.
125 participants will then be selected for direct small grant interventions of up to N3,500,000 phased over a 1-year period.
The other 375 agri-food entrepreneurs will be connected to the organizers’ financial partners for favourable funding options.
