Bridging the Gap – Village Capital, July 2024
Bridging the Gap – Insights into the Support Ecosystem for Rural Impacting Enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa is the culmination of two years of research involving data from 359 entrepreneur support organisations (ESOs) identified as supporting RIEs in sub-Saharan Africa. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the current landscape, identifying the critical support ESOs offer to RIEs as well as gaps and opportunities.
The research included development of an ESO diagnostic tool. This self-awareness tool is designed to guide ESOs to assess their capabilities and identify key milestones to build a financially sustainable organisation that delivers impact to entrepreneurs.
