Connect Africa’s target is to be operating in 10 African Countries by 2015 to coincide with the Millennium Goal to reduce poverty by 50%.
To facilitate the significant Capital Fund required for a Pan-African Franchisee Development Fund a dialogue will be opened with the International Development Funding Community (eg. UNDP, World Bank, African Development Bank, EEC, DFID) and the International Commercial Banking Sector to discuss the requirements and way forward.
Discussions have already begun and will continue with Commercial Partners to sponsor/support trial projects in each new African country targeted by Connect Africa.
