Additional IYBA SEED Documentation
Welcome to the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Support Programme
The Ecosystem Weaver training aims to empower business support organisations and network facilitators ("Ecosystem Weavers") to provide improved services and solutions to enterprises through innovation ecosystems, with a special emphasis on women and young people.
The training is part of the IYBA (Investing in Young Businesses in Africa)—SEED regional programme, an example of the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) IYBA, with funding from the EU, Germany (German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development - BMZ), France and Slovakia.
Mesopartner's role is to build the weavers' capacity and support them in improving their entrepreneurial innovation ecosystems.
On this page, you will find all the information you need about the capacity-building process for the province you selected. Please diarise the dates and read the self-study material. It will not take long.
If you have questions, contact Annelien or Shawn from Mesopartner or Nikolaos from GIZ.
We are looking forward to having you at the events!
