Elumelu, CON, Founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation and<br \/>\nChairman, Heirs Holdings and United Bank for Africa Group, urged<br \/>\nAfrican, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Heads of State to improve the<br \/>\nbusiness environment in their countries to drive industrialisation and<br \/>\nwealth creation in ACP member states.<\/p>\n<p>He said this while presenting the keynote speech on the theme<br \/>\n\u201cIndustrialization and Private Sector Engagement for Economic<br \/>\nTransformation of ACP States\u201d at the Presidential Dialogue of the 9th<br \/>\nACP Business Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Elumelu stated that industrialisation will not be achieved without<br \/>\nsupport for small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) and improved<br \/>\naccess to electricity. \u201cWe cannot hope to industrialise if we do not fix<br \/>\nthe issue of power, if our entrepreneurs spend so much of their<br \/>\nresources to power their businesses, how then are they expected to make<br \/>\nthe investments necessary to upgrade and industrialise? If we do not<br \/>\ntackle these pertinent issues, we will be unable to achieve<br \/>\nindustrialisation, wealth creation and poverty reduction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted infrastructure development as another critical area<br \/>\nneeded to achieve sustainable development, highlighting the key role the<br \/>\nUnited Bank for Africa Group plays in achieving this. \u201cUBA is a force<br \/>\nfor development in Africa through infrastructure investment and leading<br \/>\nthe way in cross border payments and services, with the objective of<br \/>\nencouraging trade across the continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While citing the impact of the flagship Entrepreneurship Programme of<br \/>\nthe Tony Elumelu Foundation, Elumelu highlighted the critical role<br \/>\npartnership between the private and public sectors, as well<br \/>\ndevelopmental organisations, play in achieving industrialisation. The<br \/>\nTony Elumelu Foundation, a private-sector-led philanthropy,\u00a0 is on a<br \/>\nmission to catalyse the economic transformation of the continent by<br \/>\nempowering young African entrepreneurs \u2013 over 7,500 beneficiaries across<br \/>\n54 African countries thus far \u2013 through its Entrepreneurship Programme.<br \/>\nElumelu shared stories of beneficiaries in Kenya including Dr. Peter<br \/>\nGichuhi Mwethera, who has developed a contraceptive gel, Uniprin, which<br \/>\naims to prevent HIV infection, and Maureen Amakabane whose company,<br \/>\n\u2018Usafi Sanitation\u2019, is bridging the sanitation gap in schools by<br \/>\nproviding waterless toilets.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;To date, we have 497 beneficiaries in Kenya, 596 in Uganda,<br \/>\n187 in Tanzania and 194 in Rwanda. This brings the total number of TEF<br \/>\nEntrepreneurs in East Africa so far to 1,474, so far. Organisations such<br \/>\nas the UNDP, African Development Bank, the ICRC, and GIZ have helped<br \/>\nincrease the number of young entrepreneurs we can support &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The President of Kenya, H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta shared the same approach to<br \/>\ndevelopment, while highlighting his country&#8217;s private-sector-focused<br \/>\nplan which has propelled the country&#8217;s ease of doing business rank from<br \/>\n129th position out of 190 economies in 2013 to the 56th position in<br \/>\n2019.<\/p>\n<p>President Kenyatta said: &#8220;Our young people are tech-savvy and indeed<br \/>\nwith a huge entrepreneurial spirit. They are ready to embrace the<br \/>\ndigital revolution. We are experiencing a flourishing digital innovation<br \/>\necosystem which can stimulate the rate of growth of ICT and technology<br \/>\ninnovations, and nurture vibrant tech startups and incubator hubs as<br \/>\nTony [Elumelu] has mentioned, of those young men and women he has<br \/>\nsupported through his family and Foundation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, Elumelu stressed the importance of including women in the<br \/>\ndevelopment agenda of the ACP region, commending the European Investment<br \/>\nBank (EIB), for its initiative \u201cShe Invest\u201d, which is focused on<br \/>\nmobilising 1 billion Euros for women across Africa. &#8220;We at the Tony<br \/>\nElumelu Foundation strive to reach the same goals of uplifting women out<br \/>\nof poverty and empowering them with knowledge and resources. This is an<br \/>\ninvitation to join forces as we have done with the UNDP to lift 100,000<br \/>\nyoung African boys and girls out of poverty, thereby stemming migration<br \/>\nchallenges,&#8221; he said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony O.
