The SME Gender Growth Acceleration (SG2X) Playbook was developed by Renew Capital in partnership with USAID to provide asset managers and entrepreneurs with a set of practical tools to aid them in building gender-smart, scalable SMEs in sub-Saharan Africa.

Starting or growing a business can be an overwhelming process and entrepreneurs are much more likely to excel with the right training and materials readily at their disposal.
Participants are introduced to the Gender-Smart Executive's Program and trained on the personal habits of top-performing executives.
These sessions are focused on strategic, short-term and long-term planning. The purpose is to teach top-performing executives how to develop and use their plans.
The purpose of this session is to learn about corporate governance, as well as why and how top executives build and use their boards.
This session emphasizes the immense value of reporting and how it builds transparency, confidence and trust with all stakeholders.
These sessions walk participants through the critical components of financial analysis and teach CEOs basic skills to monitor, assess and track finances alongside their CFO. These sessions repeat and build on one another in order to provide several touch points in two areas that are commonly pain points for SMEs.
In these sessions, we move beyond the foundational work (planning and execution) to growth-oriented topics.
This session focuses on corporate stewardship and why and how top executives care for their people and community.
Here, we aim to guide SME owners through a process that helps them make the right, strategic choices that will help their company grow.
