Entrepreneurship and Business Development in Mesoamerica - EDEM
EDEM aims to support entrepreneurs and business men from Mesoamerica to develop and strengthen their business and business ideas. They have income as a result of their own effort and their capacity for innovation. The above is essential to reduce inequalities and eradicate the poverty of our countries. We are not alone, we do it together with governments, entities of support to the entrepreneur, private sector and social sector, based on successful Colombian experiences.
MAIN CONTRIBUTION, FROM THE PROJECT'S THEMATIC PERSPECTIVE
Goal 1.2
By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions
Justification:
The EDEM project contributes to Target 1.2 by strengthening the skills of entrepreneurs and businessmen so that their business ideas and enterprises are strengthened and generate jobs and income. To this end, the project transfers successful tools from Colombia to 8 countries of Mesoamerica for implementation, so that the rates of business creation and its life time increase.
Indicator 1.2.1
Proportion of population living below the national poverty line, by sex and age
Justification:
As the entrepreneurial ecosystems of the 8 beneficiary countries increase their impact on business creation and strengthening, more jobs and income-generating opportunities are created, reducing the number of people below the poverty line. On the other hand, more dynamic entrepreneurship ecosystems strengthen a mindset and culture for entrepreneurship in the region that encourages economic development.
Goal 8.3
Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services
Justification:
The EDEM project contributes to Target 8.3 by strengthening the "SICA Emprende" strategy in the beneficiary countries. In some of them, this strategy has been turned into a law of entrepreneurship and the EDEM project strengthens this regulation by providing tools to support entrepreneurship at the service of the entrepreneur in the 5 SICA pillars: mentality and culture, support, education, articulation, financing.
Indicator 8.3.1
Justification:
The project contributes to this indicator by strengthening the entities belonging to the entrepreneurial ecosystems in their accompaniment of entrepreneurs and microenterprises, in such a way that more people are able to increase their income by starting businesses and creating jobs.
CONTRIBUTION FROM A PARTICULAR PROJECT COMPONENT, COMPLEMENTARY TO THE MAIN TOPIC
Goal 9.3
Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets
Justification:
The EDEM project contributes to Target 9.3 through the transfer of financial tools to support entrepreneurship: seed capital fund and investing angels. These tools, with successful methodologies that are being applied in Colombia, will be implemented in the region with the support of Cenpromype within the framework of the "SICA emprende" strategy, facilitating access to financing for entrepreneurs in the project's beneficiary countries, with the support of the public and private sectors.
Justification:
