Our Mission Enablis is a non-profit organisation created to drive measurable economic development and build thriving and self-sustaining small- and medium-sized enterprises (sMEs) in the developing world. This is done through a membership-based approach aimed at empowering individual entrepreneurs and their ideas in partnership with governments, the private sector and civil society. Our Vision To nurture a dynamic entrepreneur network of men and women connected to global markets, which has become the benchmark for sustainable enterprise development initiatives.

08 Review of activities

Dear Enablis stakeholders

[[nETWORK]] Dear Enablis stakeholders, The Enablis Entrepreneurial network grew by 61% to 743 entrepreneur members in fiscal 2009, marking six years of rapid growth. according to an annual indepen dent survey of members, the Enablis network has created 5,029 actual jobs since 2005. Our footprint in africa now includes chapters in south africa, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya, and we are poised for exponential growth again this year. [[OpTiMisTs]] still, while Enablis takes this opportunity to expand, the turbulent global economic climate in which entrepreneurs find themselves is worrying, as even at the best of times, sMEs face numerous obstacles and substantial challenges. [[sTRaTEgiEs]] Despite this, Enablis continues to operate within this environ-ment, stimulating entrepreneurs in africa to find smarter business solutions and, where they struggle, to work with them to develop turnaround strategies that may help them

Dear Enablis stakeholders

weather this storm. [[ubunTu]] in south africa, Enablis has re-engineered its model in order to reach the 1,000 entrepreneur member target set by our local board for fiscal 2011. Our new approach has a greater focus on facilitation and member- to-member contacts. This allows more entrepreneurs to join Enablis and creates larger, more self-sufficient and ultimately stronger network nodes. Overall, this approach is perfectly consistent with the african concept of ubuntu — ‘a person is a person through other persons’.

[[WinnERs]] Twenty winners of the Fnb Enablis business launchpad were announced in mid-January, south africa’s biggest such competition. Many have now been inducted as members, trained in Enablis Circles and fast-tracked for financing. almost 2,000 business plans were submitted to the 2008 competition. [[gROWTH]] growth and success of Enablis south africa is directly dependent

a ceremony honouring the first Enablis entrepreneurs to successfully retire their loans with Fnb, guaranteed by the fund. a total of ZaR 4.1 million was repaid in full. Congratulations to Enablis members alex Mann, James Melliar, brian segal, Fairoz Jaffer, shahnaaz scharffenorth, nathaniel sebolai and Wessel schumyn who success-fully retired their loans. [[ExpansiOn]] Fiscal 2009 was a watershed year for expansion of the Enablis network across the East african region, with new chapters opened in Dar es salaam, Tanzania and Kisumu, Kenya. We also recognised the 500th member of the Enablis network in africa, Ms. Janine Kamau, who runs a juice and health foods business based in Yaya Centre in nairobi. Our first Enablis business plan competition in East africa, “The Chorabizna Enablis launchpad”, was successfully launched last February in part nership with the Kenyan Ministry of Youth affairs and other sponsors, with the winners an nounced in mid-2009. [[glObal]] last year, we transitioned from phase i to phase ii of the Canadian international Development agency’s

on the support of government and the private sector. at the start of the year, we entered into a new four-year agreement with government partner Khula Enterprise Finance (Khula). [[suppORT]] partners First national bank and Revlon also confirmed important grants over a one- or two-year period in addition to some other key initia-tives. We also welcomed a new partnership with pick ’n pay through their ‘‘shelflife’’ initiative. We thank all our partners for their generous support. [[FunDing]] During fiscal 2009, 18 transactions totalling ZaR 20.1 million in financing to Enablis members were approved in south africa. This brings the total approved funding since inception to ZaR 79.5 million for 70 entrepreneurs.

[[suCCEss]] The return to investors on our vintage 2004 Enablis Khula loan Fund (EKlF) for fiscal 2009 was an impressive 9.8%. The combined default rate of that fund and the vintage 2006 Khula Enablis sME acceleration Fund (KEsaF) stood at 3.9% for the year, up from 2.3% the previous one. investors in EKlF celebrated the fourth anniversary of the fund at

Enablis Circles going forward. [[inDEpEnDEnT]] in the 2008 independent entrepreneur survey, researchers found that Enablis members were, on average, creating six jobs per member (including both full- and part-time). since 2005, this translates into an estimated 58,699 direct and indirect jobs being created by the entire Enablis member network using standard multipliers and, most importantly, 307,333 africans with an improved socio-economic standing. [[susTainablE]] Enablis en trepreneurs have, and continue to have, an amazing track record at building sustain-able sMEs, both growing their businesses and creating employment, all of which is vital to strength ening developing world economies! [[iMplEMEnTaTiOn]] last year, Enablis received another generous grant from africa founding partner Microsoft, for implementation phase funding to expand the Enablis model to West africa. [[REsEaRCH]]

global founding partner accenture contin-ued to support our activ ities in africa in the second year of their three-year grant. in addition, accenture Development partnerships (aDp) carried out two

(CiDa) funding to Enablis in East africa. CiDa is a global Enablis partner having provided critical seed funding for both south and East africa. an agreement was also signed with the Kenyan Youth Enterprise Development Fund for a loan facility up to KEs 300 million. The new KEs 600 million Enablis loan Fund was launched in March, thanks to a matching contribution from CiDa. Finally, the safaricom Foundation in Kenya agreed to provide funding for the business plan competition and for Enablis East africa’s programming. Thank you to all our East africa partners. [[sTiMulus]]

To ensure ongoing excellence and high attendance at Enablis Circle meetings, all facilitators of the Enablis Circle groups from africa were invited to a facilitators’ retreat at the end of the year in Johannes-burg. Enablis leaders from four countries met to exchange best practices, improve their skills and suggest innovations to the program. at this retreat, we also launched the Enablis Centre of Excellence: E-Circle program. We believe that this centre will be a great stimulus to further the success of

cutting, though none of this will be done at the expense of our services to entre-preneurs. Enablis will emerge from this slowdown as a stronger, more efficient organisation with all the proper processes and procedures it needs for the next phase of its global rollout. [[COnTRibuTiOn]] Connie nkosi completed her two-year term as Chairper-son of the Enablis south africa board and was succeeded in april by bheki sibiya. lynette Chen was elected to the position of Vice-Chairperson of Enablis south africa. James gachui, Chairperson of the Enablis East africa board, replaced Mrs. nkosi on the Enablis global board. We would like to thank Mrs. nkosi for her strong contri-bution over her term and particularly for agreeing to stay on the board as a director going forward. We would also like to thank Thomas Hansen who stepped down from the boards of both Enablis south africa and Enablis East africa last year. Mr. Hansen was an active member of our local boards and a champion of Enablis’ growth across africa. new directors joining Enablis were bill blair in south africa, and louis Otieno

fea sibility analyses in West africa. One covered senegal and Côte d’ivoire, and the other covered nigeria and ghana. aDp seconded consultants to work closely with Enablis to research whether the pre-conditions for an Enablis implementation existed in these West african countries. The output was a business plan and roadmap for deployment. These separate studies, entirely donor funded, were deliv-ered in the second and fourth quarters last year. [[pROFEssiOnals]] based upon favourable recommendations and the support of Microsoft, Enablis opened representative offices in Dakar, senegal and accra, ghana. both offices are led by strong and experi-enced professionals in the sME space. We are bullish about prospects for the full launch of Enablis West africa this year.

[[OpTiMisaTiOn]] in this business environment, it is incumbent upon us as an non-govern-mental organisation (ngO) to take stock of the reality of the current global economy. as part of our 2010 fiscal budget, we have adopted a rigorous plan aimed at opti-misation, economies of scale and cost

in East africa. We thank depart ing direc-tors and welcome new ones. [[aCTiVE]] after three years as Chairperson of both Enablis investment Committees in south africa, Marc balkin stepped down. Mr. balkin has agreed to remain a member of the Com -mittees. He was succeeded on January 1st by Richard parker, who had served as an independent member for over a year. We would like to thank Mr. balkin for his active engagement in Enablis’ financial services activities. [[THanKs]] The economic situation has not daunted the spirits of our staff members who are working tire-lessly to support Enablis entrepreneurs. special thanks to all our colleagues and member leaders in Cape Town, upington, Johannesburg, Durban, Maputo, nelspruit, Dar es salaam, nairobi, Kisumu, accra, Dakar and Montreal for contributing to the success of the Enablis network.

Thank you for supporting the Enablis vision of empowering ideas and people

Enablis Financial Corporation

[[gROWTH]] Enablis Financial Corporation’s (EFC) fourth full year of operations again featured high growth. The investment team reviewed 49 investment opportunities coming from both the pipeline of entrepreneurs regis-tered in the Enablis network in south africa, as well as the pipeline created by the succes sful Fnb Enablis business launchpad Competition. [[EnTREpREnEuRs]] last year, 18 trans-actions totalling ZaR 20.1 million in financing to Enablis members were approved by our two investment Committees in south africa. This brings the total approved transactions since inception in late 2004 to ZaR 79.5 million for 71 entrepreneurs.

[[FinanCing]] The trustees of the Enablis Khula loan Fund approved six transactions last year, totalling ZaR 8.4 million. This has resulted in 41 financings to date. Five financings have been fully repaid. There

were two loan defaults last year, totalling ZaR 229,000. The return to investors for fiscal 2009 after all costs was 9.8%.

[[appliCaTiOns]] The trustees of the Khula Enablis sME acceleration Fund approved 12 trans-actions last year, totalling ZaR 11.7 million. since inception in December 2006, 39 applications from Enablis members have been approved. provisions were made against two investments totalling ZaR 1.9 million last year, and there were two exits totalling ZaR 630,000. The combined default rate of both funds stood at 3.9% for the year, up from 2.3% the previous one.

[[MOniTORing]] Monthly post-investment sessions were held with all entrepreneurs to ensure the appropriate monitoring and follow-up assistance was provided. Entrepreneurs are required to provide updated management accounts and revised revenue forecasts,

solutions. [[lOans]] in East africa, the Enablis loan Fund signed a loan agreement with the Kenyan Youth Enterprise Development Fund for up to KEs 300 million at a con cessionary rate. The KEs 600 million Enablis loan Fund was launched in March, thanks to a matching contribution from the Canadian international Development agency. Our first loans to Enablis entre-preneur members in Kenya are expected by mid-year. [[CaTalYsT]] We are in the process of structuring the Enablis sME africa Fund. This new fund of funds will invest in new Enablis country funds. This will allow us to substantially shorten the time required to launch a fund in a new country going forward. We expect an initial closing in early 2010. This new Mauritius-based fund will be the catalyst for a third fund in south africa, a second fund in Kenya and up to four other new country funds in africa.

and be able to discuss significant changes to the business. Where significant vari-ations are discovered, remedial plans are put in place to bring things back on course. EFC has the possibility of access - ing the Enablis network programs to do so. EFC is licensed in south africa by the Financial services board (Fsb) to provide the financing requirements to the Enablis Entrepreneurial network. [[COMMuniTY-basED]] EFC is committed to filling the critical financing gap for entrepreneurs who are unable to find risk capital between the micro-credit and venture capital thresholds. by applying a similar approach to community-based microfinance institutions and linking locally and globally with Enablis’ varied partner-ships, EFC is able to better understand the unique requirements of entrepreneurs in developing countries and to successfully provide them with creative financing

28 Expansion in Kenya

[[DigniTaRiEs]] in June, we opened a third East africa chapter in Kisumu, Kenya. On hand for the launch of Enablis House Kisumu were dignitaries who included Charles sirois, global Founder and Chairperson, James gachui, Enablis East africa Chairperson, as well as Joseph irungu, Deputy provincial Commissioner, nyanza, and philip shitohi, nyanza provincial Director of Youth affairs.

[[CEREMOnY]] 28 new members from Kisumu were accredited at the ceremony. The new Enablis House is situated at Mega City Mall shop. [[MOTiVaTiOn]] as commented by Mr. shitohi, “the presence of Enablis will further drive and motivate Kenyan youth to investigate entrepreneurial quests they may not have had the support for up until now.”

by making our services and systems available to French-speaking entrepreneurs.

[[pROMising]] later in 2008, another accenture Development partnerships team performed a feasibility study for English West africa, sponsored by the accenture Foundation. The study included ghana and nigeria, and both countries look promising to deploy Enablis services to entrepreneurs.

[[paRTnERsHip]] Enablis hired a country repre-sentative in ghana, and established Enablis Entrepreneurial network ghana. a first partnership was entered into with the association of ghana industries (agi), the oldest and largest professional organisation in ghana, which we expect to precede many others in this exciting market. all conditions look in place to launch a new Enablis House in accra this year. building on this first experience in English West africa, Enablis can look forward to take on nigeria!

[[ExpansiOn]] West africa was the main focal point for Enablis’ expansion activities in fiscal year 2009, made possible by a grant from partner Microsoft. [[pOTEnTial]] a first feasibility study sponsored by Telesystem was per formed by accenture Development partnerships for French West africa in the first part of 2008, which included field visits to senegal and Côte d’ivoire. both countries showed a lot of entrepreneurial potential and a definite need for Enablis.

[[iMplEMEnTaTiOn]] Enablis appointed a country representative in senegal, and partnered with the agence de Développement et d’Encadrement des pME (aDEpME), the governmental agency in charge of developing and supporting sMEs in senegal.

[[MulTilingual]] Our move to a multilingual organisation is an important milestone for Enablis. it started last year with the translation to French of our website and marketing materials, and will continue

“high expectation” business activities where entrepreneurs can aspire to run sustainable businesses and create jobs.

[[uniQuE]] in many latin american countries, however, entre preneurs are faced with a skill and financing gap, which makes it difficult for small businesses to flourish. This is where Enablis can play a critical role and break down barriers with its unique formula of capacity building and access to finance. [[ObJECTiVEs]] Together with the support of its founding partners, accenture and Telesystem, Enablis will embark on its first latin american feasibility study in 2009. Following the same expansion methodol-ogy used in africa, accenture Development partnerships is providing a team of consul-tants to develop assessments of promising countries in the region, with the objective of establishing operations in several key latin american markets, staged over time. This will seek to lay the foundation for Enablis’ successful rollout in the region over the coming years.

[[iMpaCT]] Enablis has already expanded into five countries in africa and keeps expand ing its footprint. it has proven that its model of fostering local socio-economic development through entrepre neurship can have a mean ingful impact, particularly in job creation, and can be successfully replicated. [[susTainablE]] Enablis entrepreneurs (most of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and a significant proportion of whom are women) have been given tailored, practical advice and mentoring, as well as easier access to financing. This has assisted them in becoming more sustainable and, in turn, enabling them to build successful businesses. With its global vision, Enablis is now prepared and ready to expand to another continent.

[[DEVElOpMEnT]] Various studies, including the most recent global Entrepreneurship Monitor (gEM) report, point to the need for the same Enablis-type developmental model in latin america. The aim will be to assist in stimulating participation in

Enablis sponsors an annual survey of its membership. This survey is done by an independent research organisation in order to ensure that the results are a fair and honest reflection of its impact. The survey provides the organisation with critical feedback concerning the value of its programs, the development of its membership and how it can better address the topical interests of its members. Donors can also be assured that the monies contrib­uted to the organisation are used well and in the best interests of human capacity development in challenged economies.

[[impacT]] The survey also looks at the impact the organisation has on the disadvantaged sectors of the human economy. This spe ­cifically includes the impact it has on the previously disadvantaged, or previously disenfranchised, members of the host country. One of the most important measures of Enablis’ efforts is its effect on women. in this regard, we consider the influence of the Enablis model on its membership overall, and on gender in particular. We believe this provides a compelling rationale for the expansion of the Enablis model into other key markets, such as West africa or latin america. [[gEnDEr]] in the two countries surveyed last year (south africa and Kenya), researchers considered the following key measures as especially noteworthy:

in the following pages you will read the stories of four of our members. They are success stories, stories we hope will inspire more young entrepreneurs to set up their own businesses. and they are rewarding stories, stories we’re proud to share as they confirm that a little encouragement and advice go a long way towards empow­erment. These four entrepreneurs brought courage, determination and initiative to the table and now they are reaping the fruits of their labour. it’s a very exciting process to watch.

lakeside Two is situated in the Kamasi area, while lakeside Three is located along Oginga Odinga street, about 200 metres from lakeside One. [[mOTivaTiOn]] Karyna is among the new members who were accred ited in June 2009. she has been able to meet, host and interact with people within the Enablis pool including Charles sirois and Enablis East africa board members James Gachui and louis Otieno. she has expressed the sentiment that interacting with these person ­alities has been motivating and a real eye opener on where she sees her business growing. [[KnOwlEDGE]] Enablis is currently working with her on her assessment and roadmap, noting her areas of weaknesses and strength. she has since been able to increase her financial knowledge while enhancing staff motivation based on her interactions with Enablis. Karyna plans to work on her business plan as she prepares to put forward her application for funding.

[[OwnER]] ms. Karyna Okwaro, owner and General manager of lakeside meeting Point Fast Food restaurants in Kisumu, is glad that her idea of setting up a fast food chicken chain is bearing fruit. with close to KEs 10 million invested in the venture, Karyna has succeeded with a new style of restaurants in the lakeside town. [[sUCCEss]]

“at first my parents were hesitant about the idea, but after a while they accepted to try it,” says Karyna, who has a degree in hotel management from the UK, and worked at mcDonald’s while a student. she says her family took loans, and in november last year the first outlet opened, lakeside One, at sansora building, Oginga Odinga Road. “it records about 500 customers daily. it is the largest of the three,” says Karyna, a first born in a family of three. impressed by the success of the first facility, they opened lakeside Two, two months later. next came the lakeside Three, in February of this year.

[[POTEnTial]] in 1999, mulweli Rebelo and his partner David Jarvis identified a gap in the market due to Telkom’s high pricing and poor service levels. after gaining con ­siderable experience in the establishment of two wireless internet service Providers (wisP) in mozambique in late 2002, the two partners decided to establish a wireless internet company in Cape Town. The deci­sion was based on the city’s tremendous untapped potential for wireless connectivity services and the expectation that the unclear legislative/regulatory environment that operated in favour of the fixed­line operator would be resolved.

This has enabled them to review their business in terms of processes, products, services provided and long­term goals.

[[sTaRT­UP]] it started as a small shop with a capital of TZs 50,000 (Us$38), selling homemade juice and ice cream. as business began to grow, biubwa ibrahim joined forces with Tausi Kaijage to run a larger business. They became agents of two major ice cream companies and were supplying ice cream wholesale to more than 50 retail outlets in Dar es salaam. One year ago, they diversi­fied their business and decided to construct a shopping centre with a hotel, bar, restau­rant and shops to let.

[[innOvaTivE]] One of these inno­vative programs is under the banner of Pick ’n Pay’s small business initiative, or “shelflife”, which aims to build the capacity of small businesses to supply products and services to Pick ’n Pay’s regional network of stores. This support includes a series of workshops and networking sessions where entrepreneurs can learn how to deal with “big business” issues, as well as how to ensure that they are audit compliant.

[[DEDiCaTED]] last year, Enablis expanded the reach of its programs by offering more dedicated capacity building activities relating to the Enterprise Development Programs of its partners, Pick ’n Pay and Revlon, in south africa. These programs seek to provide entrepreneurs with better insight into the FmCG retail environment and to enable them to become suppliers to such prestigious retail groups. [[mEnTORsHiP]]

Enablis’ programs are therefore aligned to enhance the participating members’ business skills and marketing and sales strategies to enable them to build the capacity to deliver at this level. This goes side by side with closer mentorship provided in collaboration with the local
