Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development in Africa

Abstract

This chapter aims to highlight some social entrepreneurial initiatives in health, education, and technology.

This suggests that empirical evidence to substantiate what social entrepreneurs claim they are doing in Ghana needs to be given more attention. The chapter then proposes some recommendations.
