As part of the ED4D-project, we planned go-and-see missions to Ghana and Ethiopia. During these missions selected entrepreneurs would meet with representatives from institutions, gain insight about local financial options, visit other diaspora-led businesses and learn about local rules and regulations. Due to COVID-19, however, we had to rethink the go-and-see missions.
If you cannot go to Ghana or Ethiopia, we will bring Ghana or Ethiopia to you
