Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme’s |
We
have just recently concluded the launch of the Unleashing Agricultural
Entrepreneurs at the Grow Africa "Youth in Agriculture" event. The
report was the major component of the session
as it was our findings that informed the discussion and focus groups.
The event commenced with a presentation I delivered about the report and
our eleven key recommendations.
The
report was very well received. All in attendance were excited that the
report findings could strengthen the integration of the ecosystem in
Africa and increase the productivity and profitability of entrepreneurs
in agriculture.
I promised to share it with you, so, simply visit
http://bit.ly/TEEPagricReport to download the report. It will be very good to get your perspectives, and how this relates to the work
you are doing in that addresses agric as a business in Africa.
It was good to meet you briefly yesterday at the ENABLE Youth Programme workshop.
As
I promised, I will send you the report from the Research and Advocacy
arm of Tony Elumelu Foundation, following its launch at WEF Africa in
May, 2016. This email
is simply to ensure I have your correct email address.
Please
find some information about the Foundation and highlights of the Tony
Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme’s selected entrepreneurs in 2015 and
2016.
Recall
I mentioned we had our largest applications from the agri-preneurs in
both years, similarly, following selection through a rigorous process,
the largest sector
on the programme is in Agriculture.
As I wish you a very good weekend, you may also view the
TEEP documentary which showcases the
ground-breaking
first year of Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs: Transforming Africa; so as to
