Strainghts:

1. Yepafrica! is empowering, entrepreneurial, professional, value-driven, inspirational, life changing and improving

organization.

2. Empowerment and higher level of self-confidence for the Yeppers as a result from

the Workshop.3. Changing the living conditions of the Youth in the present and for the future.

4. Yepafrica’s team is well choosen and all of the members are strongly attached to

the organization.

Weaknesses:

1. Communication - simultaneous and transparent communivation is needed in all of the levels and between all of the groups of the organization by face to face, written

communication and by phone. Clear pointed one line messages in a timely

matter and in the interest of all the parties invilved.

2. Matching expectations, specialy for the customers and specialy for the “outflow”.

Opportinuties:

1. Always involve everybody in the latest activities, give them well comunicated tasks and supervize all. Devide, delegate or switch tasks between all parties. Give feedback on

a regular basis.

2. Create a regular Yepafrica news letter. 3.Start Co-creation and the new projects

with all of the stakeholders. Start improving in a matter of inputting new strategies. 4. Translate the website even in more

languages.

5. Make a personal profile of all the people working for the organization and include

their personal skills to be aware of them so you can involve them adeadequately in

future tasks. Use all their experience and make them involved as more as possible.

6. Create job opportunities for the Youth.

Threats:

1. Changing desicions , specialy in the last moment and without informing everybody

involved. 2. Isolating some or all groups of stakeholders by not goving them

information for the latest activities and not involving them in the process .

SWOT for Yepafrica as a output from the research

project:

I have experienced Yepafrica! as a: Foundation for Empowerment/ Social Enterprise.

Suggestion: I would like to see a historical overview of Yepafrica and both the approach in

The Gambia and in NL. The yearly data basis, persons (“learners” and bodies such as

Begeleidings Cie in The Gambia and the institutes/municipalities in NL. Furthermore, to get an

idea of the short-term plans.

Suggestion: Regular newsletter, which can include a record of (and about) the new Yeppers

and furthermore the entrepreneurs “short” report about the themes in the Workshop.

Suggestion: Communication improvement:

For the coaches/trainers: Regular information for new initiatives and information on

the progress of those initiatives.

For the Yeppers: The evolution of activities, new directions that Yep strikes: in a

newsletter.

For the Entrepreneurs: frequent information about state of affairs, new twists,

evolution.

Through frequent communication: involvement maintain.

Suggestion: More communication; Co-creation with new initiatives, Directions that strikes

Yepafrica; More participation and involvement from the beginning: now all decisions taken by:

1 person? 2 persons? Members of the Board? And the lines are already determined before we

are informed will be so: organize consultation sessions to create awareness among the

stakeholders that later in the appeal process will be done to 'perform' a and other support;

brainstorming; with working initiatives; include programs to develop and above: professional,

long-term, professionally developed training curriculum: from basic to expert level/business

level; empowerment programs for companies: brings more money into the house, contributes

to creating more internships for Yeppers, part of the immense need for empowerment in all

spheres of society: that will make it easier for young people. Empowered people want to be

involved from the outset and informed! Make greater use of all available expertise: e.g. sheet

for each coach / trainer expertise, experience, language skills and knowledge of working

methods...
