Looking Back on the Social and Inclusive Business Camp | 30 November – 5 December 2019 

 

After 4 months of remote digital coaching, 60 entrepreneurs hailing from 37 African countries gathered in Aix-en-Provence and at The Camp for the Social and Inclusive Business Camp (SIBC), which was conducted by the AFD Campus for the third year in a row. The program aims to identify and nurture “champions” that generate positive social impacts in Africa and to support them by opening up AFD’s networks (mentors and investors). Christophe Itier, the French High Commissioner for the Social and Solidarity Economy and Bertrand Walckenaer, AFD’s Associate CEO, presented them with certificates of completion, marking their entry in SIBC’s community of builders of a fairer and more sustainable world.
