EASBFYE: Session 4:Social business and sport: the rise of Africa!

Africa is at a tipping point: the rapid demographic evolutions create a variety of socio-economic challenges to overcome. At the same moment, and for the same reasons, Africa is seen as a land of opportunities for business across the sectors. Africa is said become, in the next few years, the new promise land of the sport industry, which is structuring itself. How can we use the social business concept and the structuration of the African sport industry as an opportunity to solve social problems in East Africa and on the continent?
