Western Union's African Diaspora Marketplace

The African Diaspora (ADM) is an entrepreneurial business program that seeks to boost economic opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa through sustainable start-up and established enterprises. ADM winners received grants to match their own funds to support the execution of their business plans. This is a rare public-private initiative that successfully harnessed the entrepreneurial spirit of U.S.-based African diaspora members to address poverty through business innovation, said Anne McCarthy, Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Western Union. The ADM program advances our goal of creating economic opportunity around the world, which is the core focus of Western Unions Our World, Our Family® corporate citizenship initiative. We are excited to move forward and see these plans come to fruition and foster economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa."
