promote economic development in developing countries. From time to
time we invite guest bloggers from grantee organizations to tell us
about their work.
Today in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, TechnoServe and Google.org
launched a national business plan competition called "
Begin, Become". The program is designed to help Tanzanian
entrepreneurs develop skills, obtain seed or expansion capital and
establish the networks that help transform their business ideas
into successful enterprises that create jobs and other income
sources that transform the lives of all Tanzanians.
We know, from our experience in Latin America and other African
countries, what this kind of program can provide to entrepreneurs,
who gain not only immediate benefits but a crucial business network
that carries on long after the competition ends.
Our Organizing Committee colleague
David Bulengo puts it this way: “The network of professionals
and business leaders involved with Believe Begin Become will allow
a new generation of young entrepreneurs the chance to learn from
their experience and to create wonderful business
opportunities.”
If you would like to get involved, please
