Delivering Projects that help Entrepreneurs Transform their communities
She Boss
The She Boss Program is an INCLUSIVE program that was created with the aim of bridging several gaps in the women-owned or led ecosystem. These gaps include but are not limited to access to opportunities, resources, funding, and means of labor. The SheBoss project has been broken into 2 parts to adequately cater to the different gaps sustainably and they are:
SheBoss Tech: The huge gap of lack of female founders in the tech business ecosystem and building the capacity of budding female technology founders and entrepreneurs with business strategy, clinics, coaching, mentoring, and fund support. It also opens the female founder to a network and community of business experts to keep her accountable. This is a digital program open to Idea or early-stage women-led businesses across Africa.
SheBoss Access: The SheBoss Access program is based on the theory that women’s participation in the workforce and in income generation boosts economic growth and has an impact on society as a whole; equal access for women to the land and other agricultural inputs increases agricultural productivity by 20 or 30 percent and reduces the number of people suffering from hunger. SheBoss believes that transitioning informal women-owned or led businesses to formal structures increases their access to resources and triples economic prosperity. The platform focuses on women-led informal community businesses, and how these women can better leverage formalization and technology to scale their solutions in the African market.
Climed (Climate Education)
The Climed (Climate Education), is specifically designed for companies/enterprise teams and executives as a marathon training exercise for sustainable environment development, the program aims to equip business teams and leaders with adequate and up to date information and learning on climate sustainability and how the organization can leverage on this learnings to create better policies and practices which include but are not limited to investments in renewable energy, waste management, supply chain sustainability, behavior change, and decarbonization.
BAFF-Ecothon looks forward to contributing to the spread of eco-entrepreneurship and the achievement of UN SDGs.
BPS (Business Policy Series)
This series aims to play a pioneering role in shaping the merging field of business and public policy. The Business Policy Series focuses on two central questions. First, how does public policy influence business strategy, operations, organization, and governance, and what are the consequences for both business and society? Second, how do businesses themselves influence policy institutions, policy processes, and other policy actors, and with what outcomes?
