DOT Force Entrepreneurial Network

Overview
"The DOT Force Entrepreneurial Network (DFEN) is a private sector-led partnership of public, private and civil society organizations. It aims to drive economic and social development in emerging economies by enabling entrepreneurs to make full use of digital opportunities. The DFEN will be a not-for-profit organization that will operate in a commercial manner. It will work collaboratively with established organizations on the ground to identify and assist target businesses. It will provide low-cost financing, plus a mix of in-kind products and services, including mentoring, incubation, networking and policy advice. It will also serve as a centre of expertise encouraging the exchange of best practices. The DFEN will begin operating in Africa, but is expected to become a global undertaking."
