• Capacity Development Provider

MDF West Africa

At the Inclusive Agribusiness Centre, we offer business development support for both start-ups and existing businesses. Entrepreneurs can join our monthly clinics on general topics such as legal matters or how to attract finance, or come to us for one-on-one coaching. Alternatively, they can join our two-month Accelerator Programme where, during several workshops, they work on their business in a group of like-minded entrepreneurs. We work with the Inclusive Business Accelerator tools, based on the Business Model Canvas, covering all aspects of marketing, operations and finance and link entrepreneurs to our network of other entrepreneurs, advisors and investors.
