Situation
Equatorial Guinea hosts a very small number of locally owned micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
The economy is highly dependent on oil revenues and there is limited engagement by Equato-Guineans in other sectors of the economy.
Entrepreneurs face high costs relative to other countries in the region.
There is strong competition from foreign-owned companies and imported products in many sectors.
Solution
Montrose has been contracted to implement a five-year social investment programme focusing on developing base-level entrepreneurs.
The project focuses on identifying and upgrading value chains where there is or can be a high level of participation by Equato-Guineans.
We are providing training, mentoring and business development services and raising the profile of entrepreneurship in Equatorial Guinea.
