The SwitchMed Green Entrepreneurship Programme has made further progress! This time, they come from Algeria, which launched its National Switchers Support Partnership (PNS) via a virtual meeting organized on Tuesday 2 March 2021. The Centre National des Technologies de Production plus Propre (CNTPP) , an implementing partner of SwitchMed’s Green Entrepreneurship Programme in Algeria, organized this meeting with future members of the National Partnership, i.e. support structures for the development of sustainable businesses.
18 representatives from 14 different Algerian structures participated in the virtual session and expressed their interest in sharing this initiative (see list below). A national workshop will be organized soon to discuss the methods and formalization of this collaboration.
As for the other five countries beneficiaries of SwitchMed in which this activity has already started, the constitution of the Algerian PNS is the first step in the implementation of the Green Entrepreneurship Programme on a local level. This national partnership will support the Algerian ecosystem for the development of sustainable and circular business models. It will bring together public, private and non-profit support structures to develop a comprehensive service offering for green entrepreneurs. More tangibly, once this partnership is formalized, the Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP/RAC), which manages this activity within the framework of the SwitchMed Programme, will be able to organize training of trainers in order to transfer all the tools and methodologies to the latter. Secondly, the trainers will use these tools in turn to train green entrepreneurs in the different phases of their business development (ideation, creation, start-up and launch) and effectively contribute to sustainable development.
