The private sector and entrepreneurship are essential to economic resilience. Entrepreneurs drive innovation by creating new products and services that meet changing market demands. This innovation fosters economic growth and diversification, reducing dependence on a single industry and enhancing stability.
At CEFRES, our mission is to demonstrate how African countries can leverage their private sector to create employment opportunities, leading to higher household incomes and improved living standards. This, in turn, supports infrastructure development and social programs that further strengthen economic resilience.
Our program also promotes adaptability through entrepreneurship, enabling economies to withstand shocks and recover more quickly from downturns. We firmly believe that a vibrant private sector and a culture of entrepreneurship are crucial for building a resilient and dynamic economy that can thrive in the face of challenges.
