1. 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:

2. 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...
