Investisseurs & Partenaires attends the European Development Day

Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) co-organises two sessions during the European Development Days, held in Brussels on June 3 and 4, to present the project Small is Powerful. Initiated by I&P and the photographer Joan Bardeletti, the project investigates the impacts of five African SME and aims to show how African small enterprises contribute to the development of the continent.

Two entrepreneurs involved in the project participate to the event: Khadidiatou Nakoulima, founder and director of the Senegalese clinic NEST, and Sidi Khalifou, director of CDS, a company providing access to water and electricity services to rural populations in Mauritania.

Khady Nakoulima will speak in the lab “social inclusion and entrepreneurship” with Jean-Michel Severino and Joan Bardeletti.

Sidi Khalifou will participate to the lab called “Small businesses, big impact: African entrepreneurs and climate change”. Emilie Debled, from I&P, and Joan Bardeletti, will also participate to the lab.
