A partnership between
Uber and Old Mutual in commemoration of the Global Money Week, have agreed to
extend its free money management course to its driver-partners in Accra-Ghana,
Lagos-Nigeria and Nairobi-Kenya, reports ITRealms.
The course, which held
in South Africa this year, ITRealms
gathered, reflects Global Money Week’s theme with “Learn. Save. Earn.”
ITRealms reports that Driver-partners
who attending the workshops this week, would be empowered with the skills to
manage their finances in order to grow their income and save for the future.
In addition, ITRealms reports that drivers will
receive an invitation via email to reserve their seat.
Driver-partners across
Africa are extremely important to Uber and their own financial wellbeing is an
ongoing priority. The technology and flexibility of the Uber app enables
driver-partners to start, run and grow a small business on their own terms. By
offering skills development in financial management, Uber can assist
entrepreneurs in building sustainable businesses.
Recent statistics
illustrate the contribution small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make to high
growth economies on the African continent. The Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics notes that there are over 17 million SMEs registered in Kenya, with
these businesses employing half of the Kenyan workforce. In Ghana, 92 per cent
of companies registered are micro, small and medium enterprises and contribute
70 percent to the country’s GDP, while Nigeria has seen a 100% increase in
small businesses in recent years.
