Recognizing the great potential for entrepreneurship to contribute economic growth in developing countries, GBSN supports the development of entrepreneurship training programs globally. GSBN assisted Pan African University in Nigeria with the establishment of a short term training program for small and medium enterprises that is now serving as a model for Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women initiative.
Food for Thought
With very few exceptions,
MBA programs in sub-Saharan Africa are unable to effectively compete with institutions
in the West. As a result, MBA programs cannot attract the best local students or faculty
and often lack the leadership prowess necessary to effectively position themselves within
the market.
