To participate in WIDU.africa, two partners consisting of a diaspora donor in Europe and an Africa-based entrepreneur need to team up and start the application process.
Diaspora donors in Europe must have a registered address in Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland, and be aged 18 or older, with a valid ID document, such as a European passport or a passport from a participating African country plus residence permit in a participating European country.
Africa-based entrepreneurs must be age 18 or older and have a new or existing micro or small business based in a participating African country, with maximum 20 employees. The entrepreneur is expected to use the platform him/herself and therefore requires literacy in French or English as well as basic digital and business skills.
