There are untold, informal and impeding barriers to entry into entrepreneurship in many African states and economines.  Moreso where access to some form of funding is availed or required, it is assumed your entreprize is formally registered, has a full accounting system and set of financials, is trading, already creating employment and making impact that can be tracked.  The thought of all these requirement is daunting for many affricans to even take the first step.  Those that overcome this huddle and formaly register business, do not have adequate coaching to set them up for success.  And those that succeed in the early stages, do not have platforms to network with fellow entrepreneurs and act in new ways toward each other—sharing secrets, making commitments, providing help, taking care, being accountable to each other while pursuing entrepreneurial growth.

There are certainly not many players at the lowest end of the opportunity creation value chain.
