This section will be the backbone of the business development module for Sub-Saharan Africa, as it will offer a set of modules that will build up the capacities of entrepreneurs in the region to bring a commercial idea to the market. The section will be linked to the invalid link created with the aim of supporting entrepreneurs all over the world to respond to the increasing demand of sustainable sanitation and water management products and services.
The invalid link in SSWM, with its three different modules, will accompany entrepreneurs in the challenging experience of building up a business, from the idea to running a business in a sustainable manner:
A: SSWM as a Business introduces you to the Sustainable Sanitation and Water Management concept and the business opportunities you can take advantage of. It includes three sections: Introduction to SSWM as a Business, Scanning the SSWM Environment, and Resource Recovery and Reuse Business Model Examples.
B: Business Development in SSWM leads you through the process of self analysis, business model and business plan development to prepare yourself to run your own business. It includes three sections: Are You a Water and Sanitation Entepreneur?, invalid link, and Business Plan.
C: Managing Projects gives you the information you need to successfully manage projects in your business, including sections on Project Design, Project Financing, Project Execution, and Ensuring Project Sustainability.
