Context

Research has shown that SMEs fail when entrepreneurs don’t understand the environment in which they operate their businesses or the psychology and culture of their potential clients. SME failures have obviously negative impacts on entrepreneurs and their families. However, these failures also impact the overall economy and employment rates, which can impact society through high levels of unemployment, reduced government spending on basic services, and instability. AAE's publication project collaborates with volunteers in writing articles to provide entrepreneurs insights on the business environment in Africa. Our articles provides insights on the business environment in Africa and discuss diverse issues in the African scene. The articles are read by entrepreneurs and entities including government departments, civil society, and donor agencies. We connect stakeholders to decision-making systems and help them get more involved in advancing the region sustainably. This project advocates for the role of entrepreneurship in inclusive development and the creation of innovative business models and products to enhance economic growth, in accordance with SDG Target 8.3: Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services
