Entrepreneurship Ecosystems Development

This thought leadership project aims to foster the development of active entrepreneurship ecosystems across higher education institutions within the Sub-Saharan Africa region.

The project highlights Afro-centric pedagogies and curriculum, governance, policy support, mentorships, funding, stakeholders, and cultural systems of formal entrepreneurship training in African higher education institutions. It also engages participant higher education institutions as partners in the process of reviewing, developing, and tracking the ecosystems on their campuses. The entrepreneurship ecosystem project produces four key resources that will be included in an e-playbook to aid higher education institutions in developing their entrepreneurship ecosystem environment in a way that allows them to implement interventions that move them closer to their aspirations.
