Zawadi Festival in Brief

  • You are an Individual or a Corporate entity and you have a Project. The estimated capital requirement for your project is below USD 2million.
  • You are convinced that your Project is Commercially Viable. You are aware that for your Project to succeed, you need to collaborate and partner in terms of Resources e.g. financing, expertise etc.
  • Then Zawadi Festival is the event for you to participate in wholeheartedly.

 

Why Zawadi Festival?

One of the long-term goals of Zawadi Festival is to catalyze development and growth of village-level (local) economies by facilitating commercial project collaboration and resource partnerships.

Collaboration and resource partnerships in projects pioneered by these six categories will be pivotal in Zawadi Festival living its dream of being a platform for catalyzing Africa’s micro-economies. 

Farmer Cooperative Societies

Cooperatives transform rural economies by reducing poverty, and integrating marginalized agricultural producers into larger, more profitable domestic and global markets

General Learning Institutions

Economies develop by having a sustained supply of human capital, fostering innovation, and shaping the broader institutional frameworks that guide market success.

Technical Vocational Education & Training (TVETs)

TVETS drives a Nation’s labor and economic productivity by equipping workforces with industry-specific, practical skills thereby growing countries wellbeing.

SACCOs, SMES & Individuals

This category is the de facto entrepreneurial heartbeat of most African countries. There cannot be enough initiatives that enhance their capacity to drive economic growth.

Healthcare Organizations

A Nation’s sustainable growth and development lie in part, on its ability to provide affordable and hence accessible healthcare by the bottom of the pyramid population

Non-Profits & Faith-based Agencies

This sector plays a key in cementing a Nation’s social wellbeing. As such, are by default agents of economic development.
