ColombiaColombia’s economy is among the largest in Latin America, and it has made great strides in reducing poverty over the years. Yet internal insecurity, commodity dependence, and low skill levels hamper its economy and its people.
Small- and medium-sized businesses have been estimated to contribute 40% of the country’s GDP and 80% of its jobs. TechnoServe is working to strengthen this important sector by supporting entrepreneurs to gain the business skills and market connections that will enable them to grow their enterprises for the long term.
Impulsa Tu Empresa aims to help small and growing businesses boost their growth through mentoring and business training. Since its launch in 2012, the program has increased the sales of over 1,500 businesses and helped create 1,600 new jobs in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Burkina Faso.
