Features
Why choose us?
We are a unique business grant-matching program that connects African diaspora investors with their kith and kin's businesses in Africa. The programme's goal is to empower local businesses to achieve sustainability and scalability, preparing them for mainstream financing, by combining financial support, individualized business training, and entrepreneurial development.
Fostering Economic Independence
By equipping local businesses with enhanced entrepreneurial skills and business models, the program aims to facilitate economic independence and reduce reliance on external funding sources.
Enhancing Financial Sustainability
TAI Africa aims to match the funds contributed by business owners and diaspora investors, ensuring adequate capital for implementing growth strategies and expanding operations.
Economic Growth Stimulation
TAI Africa seeks to channel diaspora investments into businesses in Africa, stimulating economic growth, and creating employment opportunities.
Preparation for Mainstream Financing
The program will support businesses in reaching a level of maturity that positions them for mainstream financing opportunities, enabling them to access larger-scale investment and broader markets.
Africa's global diaspora is a reservoir of untapped potential, holding significant financial resources and extensive networks that could be pivotal in transforming the economic landscape back home. TAI Africa introduces an innovative business grant-matching program specifically designed to harness this potential.
The program's core objective is to bridge the gap between African diaspora investors, grant providers, and local entrepreneurs while utilizing capacity building for the entrepreneurs for the sustainability of their businesses.
By fostering strategic partnerships, this initiative aims to catalyze economic growth and development within Africa. It seeks not just to provide financial assistance, but to create a collaborative ecosystem where sustainable businesses can thrive, generate social impact, and create employment opportunities.
Identification and Selection
TAI Africa will work with African diaspora and local partners to identify eligible businesses owned or managed by Africans residing both within the country and abroad with a special focus on their kin. These businesses will undergo a comprehensive selection process based on predefined criteria, including growth potential and alignment with national development priorities.
Individualized Business Model Training
Selected business owners will receive specialized training and mentorship aimed at enhancing their business models, operational efficiency, financial management, and marketing capabilities. This training will be conducted by experienced entrepreneurs, trainers and industry experts.
Diaspora Investment and Grant Matching
Using a transparent TAI platform, Business owners will contribute a percentage of the required investment, showcasing their commitment and accountability. TAI Africa will connect these businesses with African diaspora investors interested in supporting their initiatives. The diaspora investment, along with the business owner's contribution, will be matched by a dedicated fund or funding entity. This matching mechanism ensures an adequate level of capital for sustainable growth.
Monitoring and Evaluation
TAI Africa will establish a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to track the progress of supported businesses, measure their performance against predetermined milestones, and identify areas of improvement. Regular reporting and feedback mechanisms will facilitate continuous program refinement and optimization.
