Oxfam-EDC SME Impact Program 2022 for Young Nigerians

Oxfam-EDC is calling on young Nigerian entrepreneurs for its 2022 SME Impact Program as we will be walking you through the process and procedures on how to apply, so keep reading.

About The Oxfam-EDC SME Impact Program

Oxfam believes SMEs have the potential to contribute to sustainable growth through increased employment, higher income, and relevant products and services for people living in poverty, particularly smallholder farmers, youth, and women.

To help SMEs live up to their potential, we know they need more than capital alone. Hence, Oxfam provides tailor-made business development services to support SMEs in Nigeria, Somalia, Uganda, and Vietnam. We select businesses based on an assessment of their plans and financial potential and on the social impact that they expect to deliver for their community. To ensure businesses deliver on the latter, social impact is monitored consistently from the start and measured over a period of time.

We expect entrepreneurs to contribute to the costs of the business development support to some extent.
