The Regional Entrepreneurship Freedom Index is back and better than ever! In 2021, we saw tremendous engagement from across the nation as we assessed the entrepreneurial climate in all 16 regions of Ghana. The Eastern Region emerged as the top business-friendly region for entrepreneurs, making headlines nationwide. We are excited to unveil our findings this year.  Stay tuned for the upcoming report that promises even more insights and revelations about the current state of entrepreneurship in the country. Anticipate the release – the best is yet to come! #ACEYE #AtlasNetwork #IMANI #regionalentrepreneurshipfreedomindex #REFIndex2024 #freemarket #AfricaDevelopment #Africanprosperity #privatesector #Ghana #aceyeat5 #ilapi

Here is my presentation on the Dark side of Entrepreneurship delivered at this year's ABEC AFRICA conference in Botswana. The topic looks at some of the aspects that we overlook in Entrepreneurial Development and seeks to create awareness to possibly consider alternative approaches to development. I look forward to engaging more on the topic in the future. #ABEC2023 #ShiftingTheMindsetTogether #BusinessEthics

Please read Dr Steven Zwane’s latest article: 'Time for South Africa to rethink its approach; prioritize entrepreneurship.' I read the article and agree that the move from individual successes to broader collective action is a critical dialogue to be held. The two examples Dr Zwane outlined in his article are of- Mam Nomalizo and Mam Zodwa - these are individuals with whom many can resonate, but will they ever get their flowers or glory? These are individuals who have meaningfully contributed to SA's economy and with grit and resilience produced world class leaders whether it be (their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews). I read an article published in 1995 in The Washington Post; juxtaposing Dr Zwane’s article with Paul Taylor’s article of 1995 shows that as much as we have developed, the glass ceilings are still there and harder to overcome. The call to action is clear - developing entrepreneurial mindsets is key!

(GEC 2023) brought entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers together in one place, at one time, hundreds of perspectives and ideas. Attending the (Global Entrepreneurship Congress) as one of the Kurdish Iraqi delegates was a great opportunity to build a stronger network with all the talented people all over the world. It's our responsibility to implement and have actions toward a better future for our country, the more we travel and learn the more we can lead our network in our country toward a smart and promising future.
