Why Post on Africa Rural Connect?

Partners. Funding. Attention. Endorsements. Connections. Inspirations. These are just a few of the reasons why you should post your business plan on Africa Rural Connect. "But, I don't have a real 'plan,' I just have an idea," you might say. Well, that is what Africa Rural Connect is for: to help you hone your idea into a business plan using the resources on the site. 

Perhaps you have an idea for an irrigation system in Uganda but are wondering how it would work in Togo. Or, you saw a great idea in Ghana but want to adapt it for your agribusiness in Tanzania. 

By using the unique REMIX technology on Africa Rural Connect, you can build off of the ideas of others, add photos, spreadsheets, and even documents to your post, and you may just find others who are also interested in your idea.

One of the runners up an Africa Rural Connect contest submitted an idea on an ecological sanitation system to replenish nutrient-depleted agricultural soil, said that the contacts that she has because of posting her ideas on the website have been “monumental.”  She has communicated with scientists and interested partners all over the world, connections that she would not have made prior to posting on the ARC website and getting support for her idea.

Why not post an idea and see what happens?
