Entrepreneurs du Monde is a French international nongovernmental organization founded in 1998 and operating in ten countries of West Africa, the Caribbean and Asia.
The organisation supports microfinance programmes with a strong social orientation, which target thousands of very deprived women and men. The focus is laid on promoting their entrepreneurship spirit by supporting them in their attempt to develop an economic activity.[1][2]
History
The organisation was created in Colombes, Hauts-de-Seine, France in June 1998 by its present Director, Franck Renaudin.[3][4]
Entrepreneurs du Monde initially ran thanks to the voluntary contribution of its members and was contributing to existing programmes in the Philippines[5][6] and in India. In 2003, the activity started to develop and the first permanent employee was hired. In November the same year, the head office was transferred to Poitiers (86), France,[7] in a building shared with the NGO Initiative Développement. In 2004 and 2005, Initiative Développement decided to hand over its microfinance programmes in Benin,[8] in Ghana[9] and in Haiti[10] to Entrepreneurs du Monde.
Parallel to this, the organisation developed new programmes in the Philippines (2005), in India (2006), Cambodia (2006),[11] Vietnam (2007), Mongolia (2008) as well as Burkina Faso (2008),[12] while a technical follow-up agreement was signed in Myanmar with a rural lending programme in the Southern part of the country (2005).
Socio-economic Approach
Entrepreneurs du Monde claims it supported 59,600 microentrepreneurs in 2009. Its objective is to support even more people through its programmes spread in ten countries around the world in 2010, by providing them with following services:
- Loan products (microcredit), to finance the creation or the development of a small economic activity, in urban or rural environment;
- Savings product (microsavings) to reinforce the capacity of families to manage their budget and to anticipate their needs;
- Health microinsurance,[13] to reduce the vulnerability of families and preserve economic progresses achieved previously;
- Trainings: trainings on economic subjects (family budget management, profit calculation, etc.); trainings on social topics (malaria prevention, man/woman rapport, etc.); vocational and practical trainings (cooking, cosmetology, hair-dressing, manicure, etc.);[14]
- Social Permanencies: in urban branches, a social worker provides most deprived microentrepreneurs with counselling and refers them to specialised organisation able to bring them complementary support;
- Social entrepreneurship: to promote certain activities identified as being socially impactful on one hand, and economically viable on the other hand. Most are innovative activities which can have an impact on health (production of spirulina, horse milk, carabao milk), shelter (building of houses using the Nubian vault technology, manufacturing of paper bricks for cooking combustible) or environment (improved stoves). Entrepreneurs du Monde tries here to focus its contribution on the structuring of an economic chain.[2]
