1. Background and Rationale 

As part of the process of Certification of Entrepreneurship Support Organizations (OAE) in Benin (LABELOAE), a key initiative for the national entrepreneurial ecosystem, several organizations were recognized for the quality of their support services for entrepreneurs.

Led by the Sèmè City Development Agency and the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development Agency (ADPME), with support from the Ministry of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Employment Promotion, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and the Benin Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI Benin), and with technical and financial support from the World Bank, this initiative aims to improve the quality of entrepreneurial support and to recognize the highest-performing organizations.
