| Desc | THE INDEGO AFRICA LEADERSHIP ACADEMY WAS FOUNDED IN OCTOBER 2014 TO PROVIDE FREE ADVANCED BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR HIGH-POTENTIAL FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS IN RWANDA. A DIVERSE AND EXPERIENCED TEAM OF INDEGO AFRICA BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF DESIGNED THE 6-MONTH, 75-UNIT CURRICULUM, WHICH COVERS SUBJECTS LIKE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING (40%), SALES AND MARKET RESEARCH (30%), MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE (15%), PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY CHAIN (10%), AND BUSINESS STRATEGY (5%).

| Desc | MARKET ACCESS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES END TO END BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR THE WOMEN ARTISANS WE PARTNER WITH. IN RWANDA, THESE WOMEN WORK IN COOPERATIVES-A LEGALLY RECOGNIZED FORM OF ASSOCIATION IN RWANDA THAT WAS PROMOTED BY THE GOVERNMENT AFTER THE 1994 GENOCIDE. AT THAT TIME, RWANDA'S POPULATION WAS 70% FEMALE AND ITS ECONOMY WAS IN SHAMBLES. WOMEN WERE LEFT TO REBUILD THE COUNTRY, YET MOST LACKED FORMAL EDUCATION AND STRUGGLED TO GAIN ACCESS TO INTERNATIONAL EXPORT MARKETS. WE PARTNER WITH COOPERATIVES OF WOMEN ARTISANS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OF ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY. WE HELP WOMEN GENERATE INCOME TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE PRESENT, AND PROVIDE THEM WITH TRAINING TO BUILD PROFITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES FOR THE FUTURE. SPECIFIC SUPPORT ACTIONS INCLUDE DESIGN OF PRODUCTS AND SELECTION OF MATERIALS; SUPPLYING MATERIALS IN SOME CASES; ORDERING PRODUCTS, WHICH WE BUY IN RWANDA AND THEN EXPORT TO THE US FOR RESALE, PROVIDING A PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE ORDER UPFRONT AND UPON COMPLETION; AND QUALITY CONTROL MONITORING TO ENSURE THE ORDER IS FILLED ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE PURCHASE ORDER. | Desc |
