Objectives
In the context of the Afri-Plastics Challenge, a Canadian government initiative tackling marine plastic pollution in Sub-Saharan Africa, we conducted a market research due diligence assessment of enrolled social enterprises. Our objective was to evaluate the potential and impact of their proposed solutions for plastic waste management. This involved in-depth research on each venture’s business model, target market, and proposed technology or approach. By analyzing their financial viability, scalability, and alignment with the Challenge’s goals, we aimed to identify the most promising social enterprises capable of significantly reducing plastic waste and fostering a more sustainable future for the region.
We work with clients across all industries.

Results
Our due diligence assessment empowered informed decision-making for the Afri-Plastics Challenge. We meticulously evaluated each social enterprise's business model, target market, and plastic waste management approach. Financial viability, scalability, and alignment with the Challenge's goals were rigorously analyzed. This comprehensive approach provided the organizers with invaluable insights to select the most promising ventures. Ultimately, our analysis directly informed their grant funding decisions, allocating resources to social enterprises with the greatest potential to significantly reduce plastic pollution and drive a more sustainable future across Sub-Saharan Africa
