ICAfrica's current key mandate, between 2008 and 2013, is to identify and assist the hundreds of thousands of promising grassroots African entrepreneurs with drive and passion to grow their small businesses to success. Once identified, ICAfrica will assist the entrepreneurs as necessary, with business management services, coaching, mentoring, products & services development, market identification & expansion, provision of efficient tools and micro-financing. 

The overall objective is to assist these small businesses to become the "engines" that drive their national economies; to grow and expand their operations so that they can begin to hire more workers from the large pool of unemployed. Over the initial 5-year life of this program, ICAfrica estimates that it will assist 200,000 micro-enterprises and create 3,000,000 direct and indirect new jobs, effectively moving 10 million people above the poverty line. With more funding, we would do more.
