Characteristics

In the framework of the REA-BRIDGE Africa project, ANIMA and Business France will set up a diaspora mentoring programme for a selection of 15 entrepreneurs.

What? The programme will provide expertise to entrepreneurs in the networks. Who can become a mentor? Mentors are people from the diaspora (first to third generation) with solid business experience, embedded in economic networks abroad, accomplished/serial entrepreneurs or a senior executive/financial manager.

We are looking to identify influential individuals with leverage in business networks, particularly in the key sectors covered by the projects (agribusiness, cultural and creative industries, media and audiovisual, tourism, etc.).

Why mentor this project? This experience will provide the mentors with a springboard in the targeted countries, an awareness of the local business climate, a better knowledge of the ecosystem, networking opportunities within the REAs. But also with French and local institutions, international donors and project partners and at major French-African events. Worth knowing... Mentors' involvement is voluntary, but may be subject to travel funding. Being a mentor requires a one-year commitment, according to conditions established in pairs at the beginning of the programme (generally at least one monthly meeting with the entrepreneur).

We are therefore looking for particularly motivated people who wish to carry out a mission out of conviction, but also motivated by the benefits that such a programme can bring them.
