The program is engaged in a strategic partnership with with affiliates and would provide targeted investment and support for its activities. ASEN is committed in building human capital in Africa that would spur economic growth. The program would be a rolling cohort selection. 50 young creative and innovative individuals would be selected as the first cohort. Each University would provide the skills participants need to develop and grow their prototypes using the same tailor-made curriculum. 70 hours of intense training, hands-on impact driven activities and further exposure to innovative uses of technology. The program would work closely with it's affiliates to build human capital while addressing the main constraints to enterprise growth and development. This investment has yielded positive outcomes in the past through the "The World Ghana Youth Want" program.

Lancaster and Ashesi University would provide inviting, conducive meeting place (space) for participants of the program to network, share ideas, and understand what opportunities the social impact space affords them. African Social Entrepreneurs Network (ASEN) through its affiliates of regional expert professionals would equip participants with the right attitude for business, train participants to acquire skills on generic aspects of enterprises; strong self awareness and confidence, long term goal setting ability, decision making power and independent problem solving attitude in order for them to become self reliant, financially discipline and architects of their own future. ASEN would impact basic skills that would enable participants to understand the key aspects of social impact: including economics of scale, improving productivity, business enterprises, and above all become master of social business growth. ASEN would equip participants with management skills for developing small enterprise: business planning; understanding markets and marketing skills, general cost management (pricing and overhead costs), financial management (record keeping, cash projections, capital management, profit calculations etc.) and overall business management skills. ASEN would provide a platform for participants to share experiences whiles learning to build relationships with the global social impact community. Millennium Campus Network (MCN) would provide further fellowship to groups who successful complete the program. MCN program convenes student leaders across university campuses to develop values, professional skills, pathways they would need in order to succeed in the social impact sector, from performance management to writing grants to reflecting on compassion fatigue. This would be an interactive community building leadership accelerator, an ideal bootcamp for participants aiming to join the global impact sector. Participants would have the opportunity to network with top student leaders across campuses and professionals working in the same field, as well as to pitch their prototypes to earn funding.
