Review Quotes




'Loïc De Cannière's book paints a varied and colourful picture of investing across Africa in growing enterprises (MSMEs). It is a timely call to action to local and international providers of finance to invest in better education, better infrastructure, the blue economy and the entrepreneurial success of Africa's youthful population.' - Dr Peter Hinton, Associate Fellow, Said Business School, University of Oxford, UK;



This is an uplifting book. Africa urgently needs jobs for its youth. Loïc De Cannière shows how finance for small-scale enterprises can transform the opportunities for millions of young Africans. His examples of success are a model not only for other private investors keen to have socially purposive impact on young lives, but for refocusing the Africa policy of the European Commission. At a time of international stress and despair, this practical message of hopeful action will be widely welcomed. -Paul Collier, Professor of Economics and Public Policy, Oxford University
