MDF West Africa Limited (MDF WA) is a management consultancy and training firm with a passion for private sector driven-development, while putting social impact at the forefront of everything we do. Our company is able to offer high quality international and local expertise for the implementation, coordination and management of assignments. MDF manages the Ghana Innovation Hub in the Accra Digital Center and the Circular Economy Hub in Nswawam, Eastern Region. We have offices in Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi.

As part of our efforts to support the private sector, we have been supporting entrepreneurial ecosystems (entrepreneurs, enterprise support organisations (ESOs) and financial service providers) since 2014. We set-up the Ghana Innovation Hub in 2018 and have been managing its operations and programs since then. We have been supporting, incubating and accelerating innovative and inclusive (green) (youth-led and female-led) businesses in sectors such as agribusiness, renewable energy, health, (agri-) tourism and water. Some of our programs in Ghana include EnterWASH, the #innov8GH incubation program, the Orange Corners Ghana Acceleration Programme and the HortiFresh Female Business Accelerator. We run these programs with a gender- and youth-focus and try to link entrepreneurs to follow-up opportunities such as mentorship and/or funding where possible.

We have also supported several Enterprise Support Organisations throughout Africa by providing tools, training methods and Training of Trainers (ToT’s) for their staff. Our staff uses real-life business experience to improve our training and advisory and we our learnings to improve theory and models for the successful implementation of (commercial) projects. We strongly believes in promoting entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial thinking, innovation and collaboration towards sustainable and inclusive development. We do not believe in quick-fit solutions, but always seek to develop capacity and train others to pay it forward. We combine business development support with capacity development, to make sure that other can teach with our materials and that the individuals they train are empowered to implement the companies’ growth strategy.
