African Foundation for Development (AFFORD)
Not-for-profit/ NGO
The African Foundation for Development in Sierra Leone (AFFORD-SL) seeks to facilitate the creation, protection and maintenance of jobs through practical support of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The organisation relies on support from the African Diaspora who partner with Sierra Leoneans on the ground to provide investment and input on business training through the deployment of business coaches and advisors.
Businesses in Sierra Leone are able to receive direct technical support, coaching and mentoring. Because enterprise development is a viable option for self-employment and job creation, AFFORD-SL advocates, lobbies and facilitates a conducive enterprise environment in Sierra Leone.
