Oxfam believes SMEs have the potential to contribute to sustainable
growth through increased employment, higher income and relevant products
and services for people living in poverty, particularly small holder
farmers, youth and women.
To help SMEs live up
to their potential, we know they need more than capital alone. Hence,
Oxfam provides tailor made business development services to support SMEs
in Nigeria, Somalia, Uganda and Vietnam. We select businesses based on
an assessment of their plans and financial potential and on the social
impact that they expect to deliver for their community. To ensure
businesses deliver on the latter, social impact is monitored
consistently from the start and measured over a period of time.
We expect entrepreneurs to contribute to the costs of the business development support to some extent.
Work in Progress! Alliance
The
Work in Progress! Alliance is focused on unlocking the economic
potential of young men and women in Nigeria, Egypt and Somalia; create
jobs and stimulate entrepreneurship by improving the skills of young
people, strengthening small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and creating
an enabling environment.
Alliance members include Oxfam, Venture Capital for Africa (VC4A), Butterfly Works & IOM.
