Developing Competitive and Well Capitalised High Growth SMEs The SME sector is the largest part of any economy an create employment opportunities. Opportunities remain limited for those seeking to enter the labour market, as seen by high youth unemployment rates and wide gender disparities in earnings.

African countries are raising much needed capital on the international bond markets, whilst others have seen net inward investment climb. These new flows of capital will assist with infrastructure and other large projects and they will provide the environment for small and medium sized enterprises to offer opportunities and vision of new and innovative ways of helping Africa to build to be a more inclusive and sustainable development.

Providing effective SME business growth support is a keystone of SSCG effort and which require new ways of working together across public and private sectors and openness to innovative ideas and models. Crucially, in supporting small businesses we not start from a blank slate but tap into and where necessary catalyse and link together the local value chains, assets, infrastructures and networks that are already serving the sector.
