01 OUR ORIGINS

CHARLES SIROIS, Founder and Global Chairman, Enablis Entrepreneurial Network

IN 2003, I TRAVELED TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR THE FIRST TIME TO IMPLEMENT, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGEN-CY (CIDA) AND ACCENTURE, THE PROJECT WHICH WOULD LATER BE CALLED ENABLIS. AT THAT TIME, ENABLIS WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A PROTOTYPE FOR A MODEL OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BASED ON JOB CREATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT ENABLIS IS NOW THE LARGEST ENTREPRENEURIAL NETWORK IN AFRICA.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA, IT HAS EXPANDED TO EAST AND WEST AFRICA AND EVEN SOUTH AMERICA. ENABLIS HAS UNDOUBTEDLY SUCCEEDED IN PROVIDING ITS MEMBERS WITH THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION CAN THRIVE.

ENABLIS IS NOT ONLY A MODEL BUT RATHER A SOLUTION HELPING THOUSANDS OF MEMBER ENTREPRENEURS GROW THEIR BUSINESSES AND CREATE JOBS FROM THE GROUND UP. IT FACILITATES PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING AND MENTORING, ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS TO FINANCE TO ENSURE ECONOMIC STIMULATION AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SUSTAINABILITY.

PEOPLE AND JOBS ARE AT THE HEART OF ENABLIS AND THIS IS WHY WE FOCUS ON DEVELOPING THE ENTREPRENEUR, NOT SUPPORTING THE ENTERPRISE. THE AFRICAN EXAMPLE PROVES IT: WHILE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE PRO-VIDES EMERGENCY RELIEF AND GOVERNMENTS FACILITATE EMPLOYMENT, IT IS UP TO THE BUSINESS SECTOR TO CREATE JOBS. HELPING PROSPEROUS AFRICA IS THE SOLUTION TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF “DONOR MONEY”. IT IS BY BRINGING BACK THE DIGNITY OF RUNNING A BUSINESS, OF CREATING JOBS FOR ONESELF AND FOR OTHERS THAT A NATION CAN BE EMPOWERED TO CHANGE ITS DESTINY.

ENABLIS IS ESSENTIALLY A CALL TO ACTION TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO CON-TRIBUTE TOWARDS ENABLING ENTREPRENEURS AND REDUCING POVERTY. SPONSORS, PARTNERS, DONORS: THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACHIEVE A COL-LECTIVE IMPACT FAR BEYOND YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. JOIN US AS WE ARE TAKING OUR ENTREPRENEUR DEVELOPMENT MODEL TO NEW CONTINENTS WHERE IT WILL BE USED BY GOVERNMENTS, ORGANIZATIONS AND PEOPLE TO CREATE VALUE.

ENABLIS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT AND I INVITE YOU TO HEAR THIS CALL; WITH YOUR HELP, AS WE EXPAND INTO MORE COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA AND ASIA, WE WILL PUT MORE ENTREPRENEURS ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.

07 OUR PEOPLE

Operating at the grass-root level in developing countries, Enablis empowers local entrepreneurs and supports them in the growth of their businesses in conjunction with government, private sector and civil society.

To reach our ultimate goal of reducing poverty through expo nential job creation, we have put in place a unique entrepreneur development model: 1. We identify promising entrepreneurs at the SME level; 2. We nurture their pro-fessional and personal development; 3. We provide them with networking, coaching, mentoring, skills acquisition, training and fi nancing.

What defi nes us is our commitment to enable our entrepre-neurs to break free from a subsistence business to a business that creates jobs and positively aff ects communities. Enablis members are “poverty-killers”. In Africa only, they have created tens of thousands of jobs since 2004.

By extending our support to entrepreneurs in developing countries around the world, we are helping boost the SME sector, create value and transform local communities on a large scale.

“ENABLIS’ APPROACH TO ENTREPRENEUR

DEVELOPMENT IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE

IN THE WORLD.”

WHAT IS ENABLIS14 OUR VALUES

We focus on the entrepreneur, not the enterprise.

The entrepreneur is in the driver’s seat. It is his/her

personal skills, problem solving capacity and business

acumen that determine the outcome of a business.

We develop a strong member-focused network

of peer entrepreneurs. Each member entrepreneur

derives value from the network as well as creates value for others through

experience and knowledge sharing.

We provide a robust capacity building platform based on our one-of-a-kind

methodology mixing networking, capacity

building and fi nancing.

We make sure to use Information and

CommunicationTechnologies (ICTs)

as an enabler, assisting the delivery of our world-class training

services to our members.

We create strong partnerships with private and public sector entities

who share a common desire to propel the development

of entrepreneurs and ensure economic growth

and job creation.

We believe that a better entrepreneur will make

for a better citizen and will create

sustainable prosperity.

WHAT IS ENABLIS16 WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >

/\/\/\/\

Our entrepreneurs create shared value for themselves and the people living around them. Since the fi rst years of Enablis’ operations, the annual member survey conducted by an independent research fi rm has demonstrated that Enablis has been fulfi lling its mandate to provide world-class standard programing and support to its entrepreneurs. Developed through our unique methodology, our members have not only succeeded in growing their businesses but have consistently created new job opportunities.

Across Africa only, tens of thousands of full and part-time jobs have been created since 2004, with many more households benefi ting from both the direct and indirect jobs created.

“THANKS TO ENABLIS, I AM NOW

TEACHING MY KIDS TO BECOME

ENTREPRENEURS, NOT EMPLOYEES

WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.”

DOUGLAS CHACHA, Enablis member in Kisumu, Kenya

WHAT IS ENABLIS18 OUR IMPACT AT A GLANCE

ABOVE ALL WE HAVE

EMPOWERED OUR MEMBERS

TO GO FROM DREAMING

TO ACHIEVING FROM

LEARNING TO EARNING.

WHAT IS ENABLIS 19 OUR IMPACT AT A GLANCE

As such, Enablis’ impact extends well beyond the member entrepreneurs and includes their families, their employees and ultimately the economic well-being of their countries.

Most importantly, Enablis entrepreneurs become role mo-dels, inspiring others in their communities, restoring pride and dignity of running a business and of creating jobs for one-self and others.

ECONOMIC CHANGE.”
