Welcome to the AFRICAN MSMES COALITION

Considered as the backbone of the African economies, MSMEs are key players in creating jobs and growing the economies. However, they face multiple challenges that includes limited access to finance & capacity development, lack of approprite human capital to accelerate their growth, meet industry standards and access new markets.

BADEA’s initiative towards the establishment of Africa MSMEs Global Coalition (AfMGC) is a call to all relevant stakeholders across the MSMEs ecosystem to join efforts to address those challenges and the overall regulatory framework with an ending goal to boost MSMEs growth and development with a strong emphasis on Women and Youth.
