AFFORD-UK is a non profit-making diaspora organization which supports diaspora-based business and job creation in countries of origin through various types of partnership. As one practical example of a partnership that delivers business services to microenterprises, AFFORD has recruited African professionals in the UK and sent them as diaspora volunteers to Sierra Leone. In this effort, AFFORD has worked with local business associations such as the Market Traders Association, and with the local University (Post Graduate Institute) to train “business coaches” to support the microenterprises.
