Our goal is to empower local Ethiopian entrepreneurs, create new job opportunities and strengthen the local economy. Through a transparent, reliable and safe channel, W

IDU.africa allows members of the diaspora to support their friends and family by jointly applying for our financing instruments. WIDU is always free of charge.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. A diaspora donor and a local entrepreneur apply together on the WIDU.africa platform. Once the investment plan is approved, WIDU.africa provides technical support through three tailored coaching sessions and disburses a grant that matches the contributions of both applicants, up to 3’000€. Stay informed about our Local Calls through our social media channels. These are time-limited thematic financing opportunities of up to 5’000€ that do not require diaspora participation.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆? Ethiopians residing in one of the 27 countries of the European Union, Norway or Switzerland can participate in the programme and support their friends and family in Ethiopia. On the beneficiary side, all project leaders and entrepreneurs, regardless of sector, are eligible to apply. The only exception is Local Calls that require specific thematic eligibility criteria. WIDU.africa works to support local entrepreneurs in eight other African countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, Togo and Tunisia
