| Summary: | Supporting the development of small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) is a strategic pillar of
International Finance Corporation's (IFC's)
private enterprise partnerships (PEP) for Africa initiative,
which coordinates advisory services efforts in sub-Saharan
Africa. In partnership with business development service
providers (BDSPs), PEP Africa provides business edge's
(BE's) methodology, tools, and content, and also trains
trainers and consultants. Three years after the
establishment of BE in South Africa, IFC approached the
country s finance and accounting services sector education
training authority (FASSET), to secure a training
accreditation for BE. Currently Tushiyah is focusing on
business development, and is also discussing the possibility
of increasing the number of trainers and of becoming the
country s master franchiser. |
