April 11, 2022 - The Belgian Development Agency (ENABEL) and Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO) are joining forces to finance five innovative Benin companies. Given the status of the innovations, a creative mix of grants and social loans has been opted for.
The first week of February, OVO headed to Benin for the first SusTech4Africa campaign in the country. Freddy De Mulder, a member of the Board of Directors and a volunteer at OVO, went along. He shares what opportunities there are for local entrepreneurship.
The 2022 OVO project portfolio brings together all the projects that can be supported financially this year. Either through a loan to a company or through a donation to an NGO project.
The focal points: focus on Africa, structural impact and entrepreneurship.
Come and be inspired by sustainable and promising African entrepreneurs!
For several years, the Belgian non-profit organization Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (Ondernemers Voor Ondernemers - OVO) has been supporting and selecting African entrepreneurs with social loans and business know-how for good governance and efficient management of their local entities.
In East Africa, the organizational structure to increase the local footprint of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO) is ready. "OVO is proving that it is possible to build strong local teams," states coordinator Brian Mangeni.
In one year, you can accomplish a lot, even in times of a corona pandemic. Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs proves that with its new organizational structure in East Africa.
About SusTech4Africa: SusTech4Africa (ST4A or SusTech4) is a program that helps start-ups, scale-ups and entrepreneurs with African roots to detail their project until it becomes a fully-fledged business plan.
This past summer, student Michele Hallemans did an internship in Uganda through Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO). It brought her new perspectives on sustainability. "It was the 'School of life'. I would do it again in a heartbeat."
In 2020, Filip Maenhout, a Belgian who lived in Cameroon for many years, founded DESEC-OO. The abbreviation stands for 'Development Social Enterprise Cameroon - Organic Output'. A mouthful, but the intention is clear: produce ecological charcoal from organic waste.
