Support to the Innovation Centre — Burkina Faso

Diagnosing Burkina Faso's entrepreneurial ecosystem and giving the Innovation Centre a medium- and long-term strategy — viability, governance, finances, partnerships — so it can stand on its own.

T+00:00 — context

Understand before investing. The assignment prepares direct support to the Innovation Centre: an honest diagnostic of the ecosystem and of the Centre itself, then a strategy that lets it fly on its own and attract partners. The grant then funds the delivery, not the other way round.
