<p>As the economy of Zimbabwe struggles its President Emmerson Mnangagwa met this week with a group of entrepreneurs at State House in Harare to discuss a possible way out of the crisis. For more on the outcome of the meeting CNBC Africa is joined by an Entrepreneur Chad Chawanda, CEO of Size Chunk.</p>


Zimbabwe’s Mnangagwa meets business  leaders over economic crisis


<p>By Josh Adler </p>



<p>April 15, 2019, will hopefully mark the day a new phrase enters popular discourse about how our economic futures could play out. The term “4th Industrial Revolution” has come to embody the conversation around the supply-side of the jobs debate -skills and education. We hope to drive new research, discussion and policy around the demand-side of employment by deeply exploring entrepreneurship as a career -particularly for students of high potential. What if skilled students with options chose an entrepreneurship path and hired their friends and peers along the way? What does Africa’s youth employment situation look like if this happens? </p>



<p>The Anzisha Scenario campaign concept was born after heated discussions and exchanges internally in response to a research paper that was released in 2018, and the resulting coverage it got in the media. The research took a position that older founders in the US have been more successful as entrepreneurs generally, and particularly when it comes to scale and job creation. The ensuing media and social media coverage seemed to quickly extrapolate this to an insight that applied globally. Emails quickly circulated across the entrepreneurship and education ecosystems echoing the sentiments of the research and its impact for programming. </p>



<p>I had a particularly strong reaction to the report. It’s not that the research is wrong (it isn’t), it’s that it:</p>



<ul><li>Is pretty obvious. Prior work, life and management experience should make you a better entrepreneur when you’re older, in the same way it should make you a more successful manager or leader within an existing business.</li><li>Inadvertently positions the problem of youth unemployment as largely unsolvable by young people themselves. But with not enough job opportunities to start with, if only people with 15+ years&#8217; experience can create other jobs, we’re in a heap of trouble.</li><li>Is quickly supported by those who have followed traditional education and career pathways, crowding out other experience pathways as less legitimate. Anyone who got a great degree, and then worked for a great company, is immediately validated and pre-qualified as a better scale entrepreneur through formal training. Few have that opportunity. </li></ul>



<p>Having had this research kick off some of our own thinking, we started to look at our own evidence and work. And this then became the next driver of investing in a campaign as a pan-African, inclusive, multi-stakeholder scenario planning exercise.  </p>



<p>We have seen, time and again, young entrepreneurs start out from the very youngest of ages, and slowly build careers –in the same way any other career professional would. Those that are well supported throughout tend to be more successful, just as a well-supported professional would be on their path to senior management. We will be presenting these stories in a Hall of Fame campaign later in the year.</p>



<p>We also have seen clear evidence that managers hire from their peer group in terms of age. Older entrepreneurs hire older professionals. Young entrepreneurs hire young. The only people really willing to hire 19 year old’s without question are 23 year old entrepreneurs (or thereabouts).</p>



<p> We have seen young people of high potential and with options &#8211; they are actively recruited by universities and employers &#8211; choose entrepreneurship. The combination of this and many other thoughts is part of the discussion we want to have. Is the Anzisha Scenario possible? What are the drivers, barriers and opportunities? What are the roles of parents, teachers, students, policy-makers and other stakeholders in making the choice of “entrepreneurship as a career” desirable and supported, with appropriate income as you grow? The Anzisha Scenario as a conversation on campus has already begun to influence our own curriculum planning as our faculty think about their role in promoting and supporting entrepreneurship as a career path. </p>



<p>We’ve already had two stakeholder workshops with cross-sector representatives from South Africa, Mauritius, Egypt, Rwanda, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Botswana. (Thanks to ALA, ALU, ALX, Harambee, Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, Driven Entrepreneurs, E-squared, Imagine Scholar, McKinsey, Nova Pioneer, RLabs, and Startup Academy. </p>



<p>On April 15, during the inaugural Very Young Entrepreneur Education and Acceleration Summit, we’ll host our first experts’ panel and launch the draft position paper. Please follow or contribute to the conversation using the hashtag #AnzishaScenario. Make sure to also watch highlights from the Summit at anzisha.org/summit. Let’s see if we as a community can put young people at the center of solving the employment challenges we collectively face.<br></p>

<p>As Nairobi gears up for The Kenyan Entrepreneurs Conference on Trade and Development kicking off next week, the focus is on small and medium enterprises and alternative methods of funding. According to the CEO of the event’s partner, Credit Bank, many entrepreneurs do not know how to approach a bank, and as a result end up settling for a traditional loan rather than a more suitable solution. CNBC Africa spoke to Monica Chege, Head of Marketing for Credit Bank for more.</p>

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://cdn.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/07130219/105608495-1543947913488aliko.1910x1000.jpg" alt="" height="1000" width="1910" data-licensor-name=""/></p>
<p>
Nigerians take the lead on lists of black billionaires, and one, Aliko Dangote, takes the top spots.  </p>
<p>With an estimated net worth of $10.3 billion, according to Bloomberg, the Dangote Group founder is the richest man in Africa. According to Forbes, he&#8217;s also the richest black person in the world. Most of the entrepreneur&#8217;s wealth derives from his 85.2 percent majority stake in Dangote Cement, which is the largest cement producer in sub-Saharan Africa.</p>
<p>First launched in 1981, the Dangote Group now owns and operates more than 18 subsidiaries across a range of industries, including Dangote Cement, Dangote Flour and Dangote Sugar.</p>
<p>The 61-year-old billionaire credits much of his success to his maternal grandfather, who instilled a business mindset into Dangote at a young age. At just eight years old, Dangote would buy sweets with his allowance, which he&#8217;d give people to sell for a profit.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you are raised by an entrepreneurial parent or grandparent you pick that aspiration,&#8221; he told Forbes in 2015. &#8220;It makes you be much more aggressive — to think anything is possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dangote&#8217;s entrepreneurial interests followed him into adulthood. In 1977, he graduated with a business degree from Egypt&#8217;s Al-Azhar University. When he returned to Nigeria, Dangote moved to Lagos, one of Africa&#8217;s wealthiest cities and the country&#8217;s largest financial center.</p>
<p>Using a $500,000 loan from his uncle, Dangote began trading in commodities such as bagged cement and agricultural goods like rice and sugar. These business ventures became so successful that he was able to repay his uncle within three months of starting the operation.</p>
<p>In 1999, Dangote shifted to manufacturing, building sugar refineries and a flour mill. When Dangote Sugar first debuted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 2010, sales had quadrupled to $450 million, according to Forbes, making it the largest sugar refinery in Africa and by some estimates, the second largest in the world. Similarly, Dangote Flour tripled revenue to $270 million.</p>
<p>Dangote describes his professional journey as &#8220;exciting,&#8221; but notes that he&#8217;s also encountered obstacles along the way. Overcoming these challenges, he told Forbes Africa, required big thinking and an innovative approach. &#8220;You have to dream big to be able to be big and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing,&#8221; said Dangote, who&#8217;s now building an oil refinery that&#8217;s projected to cost around $14 billion.</p>
<p>For his part, Dangote says he&#8217;s driven by the impact he can have on humanity. In fact, he&#8217;s also one of Africa&#8217;s top philanthropists. &#8220;You&#8217;d like to be remembered for things that you&#8217;ve actually done,&#8221; he told Forbes. &#8220;We Africans are the only ones that can make Africa great.&#8221;</p>

<p>By <a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/vanessa-naegels-540468">Vanessa Naegels</a>, PhD researcher, <em><a href="http://theconversation.com/institutions/katholiek-universiteit-of-leuven-1712">Katholiek Universiteit of Leuven</a></em></p>
<p>With an annual <a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?end=2017&amp;locations=TZ&amp;start=2013">GDP growth of 7%</a> since 2013, Tanzania is one of the fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Much of this economic growth is driven by small and medium sized enterprises, more than half of which are <a href="http://www.fsdt.or.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/MSME-National-Baseline-Survey-Report.pdf">owned by women</a>.</p>
<p>But, women-owned businesses in emerging economies like Tanzania often can’t grow because of a lack of financing.</p>
<p>The most important financing source for small businesses worldwide is debt. However, <a href="http://www.ilo.org/empent/areas/womens-entrepreneurship-development-wed/WCMS_430949/lang--en/index.htm">research</a> shows that many women entrepreneurs in emerging economies don’t hold formal loans such as bank and microfinance loans. Traditionally the assumption has been that this is caused by a lack of supply. But data points to a different answer.</p>
<p>A 2013 <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13691066.2017.1358927?journalCode=tvec20">survey</a> among women entrepreneurs in Tanzania showed that more than 80% of bank loan applications and more than 90% of microfinance loan applications had been approved. At the same time, only 18% of women entrepreneurs applied for bank loans and 28% for microfinance loans.</p>
<p>This suggests that a lack of demand instead of a lack of supply is to blame for the limited use of formal loans by Tanzanian women entrepreneurs. This is the result of borrower discouragement: women have negative beliefs with respect to bank and microfinance loans, which discourages them from applying.</p>
<p>In our <a href="https://limo.libis.be/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=LIRIAS1719250&amp;context=L&amp;vid=Lirias&amp;lang=en_US&amp;search_scope=Lirias&amp;adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&amp;tab=default_tab&amp;query=any,contains,staffnr_U0096673&amp;sortby=date&amp;offset=0">study</a> we set out to identify women entrepreneurs’ beliefs about bank and microfinance loans. We also explored where these beliefs originated from and exactly how they discourage women from borrowing. We interviewed 29 women entrepreneurs from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city and economic capital.</p>
<p>We found that there are many different reasons why women entrepreneurs don’t apply, many of them interrelated.</p>
<h2>Lack of trust</h2>
<p>Most women we spoke to said they didn’t believe that loan officers discriminated against women. But they complained about the unattractive borrowing terms offered by banks. We heard stories of extremely high interest rates (up to 20% or even 30% annually) and collateral requirements.</p>
<p>Many women told us that they had no collateral. They either didn’t own a house or land or didn’t have their husbands’ permission to use them as collateral.</p>
<p>In addition, those who could use their houses as collateral didn’t want to risk losing them in the event of defaulting.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs mentioned that high taxes as well as adverse economic and political conditions reduced their profits.</p>
<p>As a result, many feared that they would fail to pay back their loan and would then face harassment or abuse by loan officers.</p>
<p>Apart from unattractive borrowing terms and default risk, many argued that application processes were long and costly. One informant told us she couldn’t provide the extensive financial information required because she didn’t keep accounts.</p>
<p>And loan officers often requested bribes to speed up the process or bend requirements.</p>
<p>The women also complained about various types of inappropriate behaviour from loan officers. Two women mentioned that loan officers asked for sexual favours in exchange for a loan. Others blamed them for exploiting entrepreneurs’ lack of financial knowledge.</p>
<p>For example, women who do end up applying for loans don’t know that payments increase if they are late in paying back their loans, or that the bank has the right to sell their collateral.</p>
<p>We also heard stories of loan officers who visited women entrepreneurs in their businesses or even at home to convince them to take out a loan. One informant claimed that loan officers purposefully sought out entrepreneurs with valuable assets in the hopes of seizing them in case of default.</p>
<h2>Painful experiences</h2>
<p>Two mechanisms shape women entrepreneurs’ beliefs: personal experiences and stories from others.</p>
<p>Some informants applied for loans in the past and were rejected; others had trouble reimbursing their loan or experienced other problems such as corruption. Even if they’d had these experiences taking out informal loans, it nevertheless affected their beliefs about formal loans.</p>
<p>Stories of other people’s negative experiences with both formal and informal loans also shaped their beliefs. These stories either come from within the entrepreneur’s personal network or were passed on within the community.</p>
<p>Women entrepreneurs’ negative beliefs about formal loans give rise to negative attitudes. Some mentioned that getting a loan would reduce their freedom to run the business and use the money as they saw fit.</p>
<p>Because of their negative attitudes most women entrepreneurs said they didn’t intend to apply for a loan any time soon. One said that a bank or microfinance loan would be the last thing she would do to access money for her business.</p>
<h2>What needs to be done</h2>
<p>In the past policymakers have tried to address women-owned businesses’ lack of financing by increasing the supply of finance. But our research shows that this is addressing the wrong problem. In Tanzania women entrepreneurs aren’t deterred by a lack of supply. They don’t apply for formal loans for a host of reasons – most of them negative beliefs.</p>
<p>This is what needs to be changed. But that’s easier said than done.</p>
<p>Often, entrepreneurs’ beliefs are rooted in legitimate issues such as loan officers’ inappropriate behaviour. So it’s imperative that policymakers tackle problems such as corruption, harassment and abuse.</p>
<p>In other cases negative beliefs are probably the result of entrepreneurs’ lack of knowledge and low financial literacy. This can be mitigated by educating women entrepreneurs on how to keep accounts, how to invest loans and explanations on the relationship between interest and risk.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; text-shadow: none !important;" src="https://counter.theconversation.com/content/102429/count.gif?distributor=republish-lightbox-basic" alt="The Conversation" width="1" height="1" /></p>
