Business Incubation: a tool for enabling innovation and entrepreneurship. -- BusyInternet launched its Busy incubator program early 2005, with support from the infoDev Program. The first of its kind in West Africa, this small business incubation program is designed to increase the chances of survival of young companies by providing them with a good opportunity to grow in a supportive and nurturing environment. To date, 25 companies have been successfully hosted at BusyInternet. Currently, there are 10 companies located at the BusyInternet facilities, which provides connectivity solutions, software development, management consulting, entrepreneurship development, business process outsourcing, computer based test preparation, and administration and web-based applications development.

On a broader level, program objectives are to promote economic growth by fostering private sector development through helping existing incubators in developing countries to improve performance in order to achieve higher 'survival rates' of incubated companies, growth and sustainability, creating synergy between incubators in developing countries, based on improved knowledge, networking and capacity building, as well as capacity building within enterprises to enhance their competitiveness, including trade competitiveness in the global business environment.

why is a european man and the world bank involved in this? If africans dont want to be like america, which is a slave driving economic society...then they better move clear of "capitalism" in the western or Central Banking sense of it.

and in what solar deprived, wind deprived, water deprived country do u live?
my friend, africa could develop itself based on purely renewable sources. if others countries werent holding them back and giving bad advice Africa could be dependent (and the first continent to do so) on renewable NATURAL materials.

africans arent just about money - they dont discard morals for some £'s unlike most other western countries.
