Info about the above
Entrepreneurs create socio-economic value for their communities. We seek to strengthen the business skills and expertise of these entrepreneurs. Such capacity-building is one of the most useful ways that we can support small business as it ensures that the work undertaken adds strategic value to organisations and maximises PwC’s impact.
Annually, PwC builds the skills of local entrepreneurs throughout the country through the Business Skills of South Africa (BSSA) foundation by providing business and entrepreneurial skills to previously disadvantaged communities in order to create jobs, promote sustainability and increase wealth. In addition, PwC also seeks to support under privileged women from rural areas by facilitating workshops to provide them with the knowledge to start-up and manage their own businesses through the Faranani Rural Women Training Initiative.
We also contribute to national policies of procurement and enterprise development by organising co-operative ventures with black business organisations, and we procure services from black-owned and black-managed suppliers.
