ITC and NRC: Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Mapping in Garissa, November 2020

Document Type: Reports and Assessments
Document Language: English
This report responds to this urgent need by using ITC’s methodology to understand the institutions active in the entrepreneurship ecosystem of Garissa County in Kenya. The analysis starts with an initial mapping of the overall ecosystem and attempts to gauge the types of support given by institutions to entrepreneurs and at which levels of the business lifecycle. Secondly, delving deeper, a network analysis is conducted to observe the types of linkages or collaborations that occur between various institutions in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Such a network analysis does not only show the connections between actors but can also identify which institutions are highly connected. Finally, complementing the institutional perspective, entrepreneurs, or the “users” of the ecosystem, were asked to share their insights. Based on this comprehensive analysis, the objective of this report is to provide an accurate description of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of institutions, identify gaps and highlight recommendations
