will be working with over 4,000 entrepreneurs throughout Kigali to understand
the impact that improved information has on their businesses. At the center of
this project is an innovative ICT tool which entrepreneurs will use to track
and analyze their firm’s growth over time. This tool will assist
entrepreneurs in making strategic business decisions regarding their finances,
operations and assisting them in customer research. The Enumerators will
play a critical role in recruiting entrepreneurs to use this tool and in
conducting the subsequent evaluation of the tool’s impact on entrepreneurs’
work, growth and job creation.
