SUMMARY:Reimagining ESO Futures with WDI: Building Pathways Forward for East Africa and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Across the Global South\, ESOs are navigating shifting markets\, rising expectations\, and tightening resources — and East Africa is no exception. In partnership with the William Davidson Institute (WDI)\, this Seeds of Success session takes a closer look at the research behind Reimagining the Future of Enterprise Support Organisations in East Africa to surface the region’s most urgent challenges and the practical solutions that can move us forward. \nWe’ll unpack key insights from the report\, explore the evidence-backed recommendations WDI has put forward\, and most importantly\, open the space for ESOs to reflect on what these findings mean in their own contexts. Because at Pollinate Impact\, we’ve seen these same challenges echoed across Southeast Asia\, South Asia\, and Sub-Saharan Africa — and we know that real progress happens when we turn shared pain points into shared solutions. \n  \nThis session is designed not just to inform\, but to mobilise. Together\, we’ll identify high-potential solutions\, explore what can be adapted or piloted across the network\, and collectively imagine what the future of enterprise support could look like if we move beyond insights and into action. \n  \nWhether you’re an ESO leader\, practitioner\, or ecosystem builder\, join us as we chart a path toward a stronger\, more resilient support ecosystem in East Africa and beyond. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nWendy Taylor\, President and CEO\, William Davidson Institute at University of Michigan\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nRajat Chabba\, Sr. Director of Innovation & Partnerships\, William Davidson Institute at University of Michigan\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nYaquta Fatehi\, Program Manager\, Impact Management & Measurement\, William Davidson Institute at University of Michigan\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nKarnika Yadav\, Partner\, Director – Africa\, Intellecap\n\n\n\n
