To address these barriers, iGravity, on behalf of the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF), is designing a multi-donor program to strengthen private sector development and enhance the effectiveness of ESOs.
As part of this effort, a market system diagnostic is being conducted to identify the key constraints ESOs face across multiple countries. Now, we’re bringing the ecosystem together to share insights, validate findings, and co-create potential solutions that will strengthen the entrepreneurial support landscape.
