MSMEs require collective resources to secure and create new jobs on the continent; hence, the programme will have five pillars: AUDA MSME Academy, MSME Financing Support Programme, MSME Marketplace, MSME Micro-Health Insurance Scheme and MSME Digital Platform.

These pillars are designed to ensure that MSMEs across the continent are supported to become more resilient, improve their market access and take advantage of technology to tap into the African market of 1.3bn consumers and leverage the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement.

AUDA-NEPAD Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ibrahim Mayaki, commended the contribution of all the financial institutions, development partners and other stakeholders who participated in designing the “100,000 MSMEs by 2021” programme.

He emphasised the need for all actors to work together and support the private sector in Africa, to protect employment and create the 440m jobs the continent would need by 2030.

Ecobank Group CEO, Ade Ayeyemi, reiterated the bank’s commitment to the initiative and specifically confirmed its support in building the digital platform, developing content for the MSME Academy and participating in lending to African MSMEs.

Governments have committed to support MSMEs at the national level. The AUDA-NEPAD programme will pool African resources, capabilities, financing, market access and technology to help achieve a continental response to MSMEs.
