SMEs, according to Oxfam, have the ability to contribute to long-term growth by providing more jobs, greater income, and relevant products and services for people living in poverty, especially small-scale farmers, youth, and women.
We recognize that SMEs require more than just cash to reach their full potential. As a result, Oxfam helps SMEs in Nigeria, Somalia, Uganda, and Vietnam with tailored business development services.
The Project is Still in Progress! By enhancing young people’s skills, developing small and medium companies (SMEs), and providing an enabling environment, the Alliance hopes to unlock the economic potential of young men and women in Nigeria, Egypt, and Somalia, as well as create jobs and drive entrepreneurship.
Oxfam, Venture Capital for Africa (VC4A), Butterfly Works, and IOM are among the alliance’s members.
