Send Kenya Send Nigeria Send Rwanda Send Senegal & FR West Africa Send South Africa Send Uganda When our team shifted to a hybrid work setup, we had fewer staff in the office while others worked remotely. By learning from the programme how to communicate effectively, I became confident to empower my teammates to accomplish their daily tasks properly irrespective of us being in the office Anthony Gatsinzi RwandAir Cargo Planning and Pricing Manager AMI used its blended learning approach to ensure the programme translated into actual on-the-job practice and performance improvement. My sense is that the value generated from the team projects alone has more than paid for the programme itself. We’ve had a great experience with AMI over the last 4 years and consider them a valuable learning partner. Jesse Moore M-KOPA CEO and co-founder The tools were a game changer. Before Aspire, we kept postponing decisions while managing daily operations. Now, we have a clear process for making both big and small decisions. As a result, our revenue has grown, and our business continues to thrive, thanks to Aspire. Raphael Opiyo Obiero Nawiri African Sprouts Ltd Founder There’s plenty of training content and tools available online, but very little is tailored to the African context. That’s what makes AMI stand out. The facilitators and participants bring local insights into every discussion, ensuring that feedback and guidance are relevant and practical. This has made me more likely to recommend AMI. As an admin at Workpay, I also appreciated their excellent customer service. Boris Maguire Workpay VP Operations I learned how to delegate effectively and build trust within my team using practical coaching tools. The Growth Mindset Learning Lab also helped me improve my presentation skills, making our meetings more engaging. As a result, attendance grew from 100 to 695 in a short time.

What Our Customers Say The programme helped me become a good leader, not just a nice one. I’ve learned that being a good leader means handling tough situations with the right mindset and balance; it’s about growth and accountability. Being a ‘nice’ leader might feel easier, but it doesn’t build lasting impact. Adam Mwanzia RSM Eastern Africa Senior Manager, Audit and Assurance What Our Customers Say I would recommend this programme because it not only helps managers lead, but it also equips them with the skills to help their entire team perform better. Samuel Ruterana National Bank of Rwanda IT Auditor What Our Customers Say I can't overstate how relatable every aspect of this programme is to my daily life as a corporate leader. The moderator's approachable nature and attentive listening made a huge difference. Aminah Amazah Access ARM Pensions Team Lead What Our Customers Say One thing that really stood out to me in the programme was the focus on real-world application. It wasn’t just about theory; everything we learned was designed to be immediately actionable.

ESD PARTNERS DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES Launched in May 2025, the Kasipreneur Impact Project (KIP) is a bold new initiative by AMI in partnership with ANDE to reimagine how corporate SA, government, and support organisations engage township entrepreneurs. KIP tackles systemic gaps in existing enterprise support and puts Kasipreneurs at the centre of a more inclusive, impactful approach to local business growth. Why Now? Townships generate over R900 billion in annual consumer spend, yet the entrepreneurs driving this activity remain overlooked by most development efforts. It’s time to change that. The Gap Most enterprise programmes serve formal, B2B SMEs. Kasipreneurs, who work in informal, B2C sectors, are excluded from these opportunities, especially in retail, food, beauty, transport, and services. The Missed Opportunity Many ESD initiatives focus more on visibility than value. KIP offers a new model for meaningful engagement, supporting last-mile entrepreneurs while unlocking real market growth and local resilience.

Upcoming Events Kenya Leadership What CEOs Need to Know About Leading in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Wednesday, 26 November 2025 4:30 am In-Person For most leaders, AI has been a technology story. But the real question isn't what the tools can do — it's whether your organization can adapt fast enough to turn disruption into growth. AI is exposing what already exists inside companies: lack of clarity, slow decision-making, and misaligned teams. The divide between those who can move with speed and purpose and those who can't is becoming a commercial fault line.

AMI offers tailored workplace learning and professional development programs designed specifically for African businesses. Improve your team's performance with outcomes-based learning solutions that deliver real results. What Our Customers Say I would highly recommend the programme, especially if you want to elevate your company's brand and give your employees a platform to improve themselves. Evone Selvarajah Eden Heights Realty Founder & Sales Director What Our Customers Say This experience reminded me of our shared humanity and the importance of our emotions. The emotional intelligence aspect had a lasting impact on me. It's about creating workplaces where being predictable and open leads to trust and acceptance, allowing for better conversations. Jocelyn Muoki Vivo Fashion Group Brand Marketing Manager What Our Customers Say This journey has been a learning curve, teaching me the value of resilience and persistence. I used to struggle with giving feedback, but now I can communicate effectively and delegate tasks, which has significantly improved my team’s performance. Sylvia Achando Solar Panda Human Resource & Admin What Our Customers Say AMI used its blended learning approach to ensure the programme translated into actual on-the-job practice and performance improvement. My sense is that the value generated from the team projects alone has more than paid for the programme itself. We’ve had a great experience with AMI over the last 4 years and consider them a valuable learning partner. Jesse Moore M-KOPA CEO and co-founder What Our Customers Say The learning labs were very interactive and practical. I learned about setting smart goals, how to communicate effectively and take ownership of my work. Participant Momentum Credit What Our Customers Say There’s plenty of training content and tools available online, but very little is tailored to the African context. That’s what makes AMI stand out. The facilitators and participants bring local insights into every discussion, ensuring that feedback and guidance are relevant and practical. This has made me more likely to recommend AMI. As an admin at Workpay, I also appreciated their excellent customer service.
