Africa’s business impediments as highlighted by the Tony Elumelu Foundation
“With the results of this study, we have an opportunity to educate policymakers across Africa about the importance of empowering entrepreneurs, and the critical role government plays in removing the barriers that inhibit their success.”
David Rice, the Director Of The Africapitalism Institute said that the survey was the first in a series of studies to be conducted on African entrepreneurship.
“The wealth of information we have allows us to gain unique insights on the needs of Africa’s entrepreneurs.”
“And we intend to leverage these insights to turn the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs into advocates for positive change, with particular emphasis on public policy and the role of government.”
The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program has committed US$ 100 million in an effort to empower 10,000 entrepreneurs throughout Africa over the next 10 years.
