ABOUT BELIEVE BEGIN BECOME

Believe Begin Become is a competitive entrepreneurship development programme implemented by TechnoServe that identifies promising entrepreneurs and assists them in creating scaleable and sustainable businesses.  Qualifying entrepreneurs receive intensive business training, personal coaching, and assistance in writing compelling business plans as well as the opportunity to interact with a network of entrepreneurs and compete for seed capital prizes.  

With the core support of the U.S. Agency for International Development, TechnoServe first launched Believe Begin Become in Swaziland in 2006 as a national business plan competition and entrepreneurship development programme.  This year, the programme is focusing on a specific industry – tourism – and encouraging existing tourism operators to enter in order to grow their own businesses.  In partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Swaziland Tourism Authority, Believe Begin Become aims to develop a cadre of high impact, successful tourism entrepreneurs who will help Swaziland realize its tremendous potential in tourism development.
