SMEs are the life blood of the African economy

2024 BOMA Prize Movement Focuses on the following;

The Problem

As the market dynamics are changing especially with the advent of Covid 19, SMEs continue to face a lot of challenges. These include rising cost of doing business by 63%, rising cost of goods and services by 75%, reduction in staff retention by 42%, difficulty in accessing finances, low training and upskilling of staff and low digitalization of business. (Master Card, 2023)

The Solution

This challenge is targeted at finding ways to eradicate the challenges facing SMEs in Africa. This will directly contribute to the United Nations goal of poverty eradication by 2030. We can achieve this, by amassing adequate support from like minded people like you, as we work together to inspire potentials in Africa to think of new innovative ways of doing business in Africa and bridging the gap with Africa and the rest of the world.
