Can private enterprise and entrepreneurship help Africa?

Posted by on 21 April 2010

The Guardian has recently launched an interesting debate. The British magazine supports the creation of village savings and loan associations in Eastern Uganda and they are rightfully asking whether such an initiative can actually help Africa. Presumably to defend this strategy, the magazine has invited various entrepreneurs to share their thoughts and answer to readers’ questions. Philanthropist and entrepreneur Marieme Jamme, David Otieno, a country representative in Kenya for the international development organisation Africa Now, Caroline Alango, manager of the Rich Fisheries, Poor Fisherfolk project(RFPR) at Africa Now, and Michael Opiyo, a fisherman and beneficiary of an enterprise project, will answer to people’s questions, live, on the Katine Chronicles blog at 11am (GMT) on Monday, 26 April.
