Conclusion; References; About the contributors; Index; Back cover 330 2 $a"It is increasingly clear that fifty years of international development have done little to reduce poverty in Africa. Indeed, more and more academics and practitioners are highlighting the detrimental effect of traditional development - as carried out by international agencies and NGOs - which often leads to dependency, inefficiency, waste and poor governance. Yet there is a new movement that is surging ahead in its attempt to reduce poverty and generate wealth in Africa: microfranchising. Set up by pioneering organizations such as VisionSpring and HealthStore, microfranchising is based on one of the most successful market-based models in Western economies: franchising. From McDonald's to Coca-Cola, franchising has proven itself to be an effective and replicable way of scaling up a business rapidly in the Western context. It is only recently that members of the growing body of social entrepreneurs have turned to the franchise model as one of the responses to Africa's endemic economic stagnation. And the results have been inspiring: instead of the dependency generated by traditional charity development projects, these new social capitalists have generated enterprise and self-sustainability in the most challenging environments of rural Africa. This long-needed book looks at the growth in microfranchising as a tool to generate wealth among poor communities in Africa. The book traces the evolution of the concept of microfranchising, from its foundation in Western models to its implementation in African countries today. It provides practical steps from the world's leading experts on how to set up a microfranchise, from recruiting franchisees, to building a brand and a supply chain. It gives case studies of successful microfranchises, told by the enterprises themselves. It continues with a theoretical analysis of the place of microfranchising within global social entrepreneurship. It ends with a look at the future for microfranchising, with recommendations for development. Edited by the former CEO of SolarAid, which created the Sunny Money microfranchise, the book provides a ground-breaking set of case studies and analysis of microfranchising for development. It brings together academics and practitioners to provide context, analysis and practical advice. Indeed, it provides the theory, the practical advice and the case studies to guide any entrepreneur, NGO, business or government interested in setting up their own microfranchise scheme."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aFranchises (Retail trade)$zAfrica 606 $aSmall business$zAfrica 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica 615 0$aFranchises (Retail trade) 615 0$aSmall business 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a381.13 700 $aSireau$b Nicolas$01540645 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779656303321 996 $aMicrofranchising$93792419 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03574oam 2200637I 450 001 9910965379203321 005 20251117110257.0 010 $a1-317-79234-3 010 $a1-317-79235-1 010 $a1-315-81037-9 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315810379 035 $a(CKB)2670000000518800 035 $a(EBL)1619281 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001107869 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12491390 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001107869 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11085330 035 $a(PQKB)11602871 035 $a(OCoLC)863039360 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1619281 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000518800 100 $a20180331e20131973 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe African slave trade and its suppression $ea classified and annotated bibliography of books, pamphlets and periodical articles /$fPeter C.
