TechnoServe in Tanzania
11 de junio de 2007
Posted by Alex Mkindi, Tanzania Deputy Country Director, TechnoServe
Google.org
supports efforts to promote economic development in developing countries. From time to time we invite guest bloggers from grantee organizations to tell us about their work.
Today in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, TechnoServe and Google.org launched a national business plan competition called "
Believe, Begin, Become
". The program is designed to help Tanzanian entrepreneurs develop skills, obtain seed or expansion capital and establish the networks that help transform their business ideas into successful enterprises that create jobs and other income sources that transform the lives of all Tanzanians.
We know, from our experience in Latin America and other African countries, what this kind of program can provide to entrepreneurs, who gain not only immediate benefits but a crucial business network that carries on long after the competition ends.
Our Organizing Committee colleague
David Bulengo
puts it this way: “The network of professionals and business leaders involved with Believe Begin Become will allow a new generation of young entrepreneurs the chance to learn from their experience and to create wonderful business opportunities.”
