Background

The Social entrepreneurship for sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons learnt from business incubation in Cameroon, Burkina Faso, and Ghana is a research project implemented by the Nkafu Policy Institute with funding from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The project spans a period of two (2) years covering Cameroon, Burkina Faso, and Ghana and Innohub is the representative for Ghana.

The Inception Workshop

The Inception Workshop for the research project is expected to take place on 23rd April 2021. This workshop will kick-start the two year activities in Ghana which will complement the activities that will be simultaneously carried out in Burkina Faso and Cameroon. Expected attendees include representatives of business incubator and accelerator hubs, development institutions, government institutions, funding organizations, and policy advocates.

Objectives

The main objectives of the inception workshop are to:

  • Formally present the project, its objectives, anticipated results and activities with relevant ecosystem stakeholders;
  • Ensure that the objectives and outcomes of the project are adequately communicated;
  • Discuss project timeline, project activities and clarify roles and responsibilities of Innohub as well as the stakeholders;
  • Gather initial feedback from attendants; and
  • Communicate measures in place to monitor progress

4 Benefits of the Workshop to the Project
