The African Development Bank AfDB, in the framework of its activities aimed at encouraging access of women entrepreneurs to finance in Africa through its action plan called AFAWA (Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa), partners with Entreprenarium to build the capacity of 100 women entrepreneurs in Guinea and 1,000 on the continent.
In Guinea, 100 participants will be selected on application form with the Prime Minister and the Entreprenarium Foundation. Out of 167 applications received, 100 participants were chosen on the basis of criteria adapted to the reality on the ground in the country, namely companies which are essentially young and in the process of being structured. Participants will benefit from theoretical and practical instruction delivered by expert trainers. In addition to training, this program will also provide access to finance. Thus, the most promising business projects will be analyzed in order to benefit from funding granted either by commercial banks or by microfinance institutions according to their level of maturity.
