Okusinziira ku byafulumiziddwa African-Startups, ensawo ya Village Capital eyitibwa Africa Ecosystem Catalysts Facility, erimu $4 million, etandise okuteeka ssente mu kkampuni za Nigeria. Ewadde Trade Lenda $300,000. Kkampuni eno egaba empeereza z’ebyensimbi ng’ekozesa tekinologiya. AirSmat, ekola ebigimusa ebirimu biochar, efunye $150,000.

Ensawo eno ewagirwa FMO ne Netherlands Enterprise Agency. Kati yaakateeka ssente mu kkampuni musanvu mu Ghana ne Nigeria.

AirSmat egamba nti ssente zaayo zijja kumaliriza ekkolero ly’ebigimusa ebirimu biochar, litandike okukola eby’okutunda.

Lwaki kino kikulu

Ssente zino si nnyingi, naye zirina ebigendererwa bibiri ebitegeerekeka: okufuna ssente ez’okuwola ku magoba amatono n’okussaawo ekkolero erifuula kasasiro w’ebyobulimi ekintu ekitundibwa.

Enteekateeka z’okwewola ku magoba amatono Trade Lenda z’egamba nti yafunye zirina obukulu obusinga ku $300,000 ezaasooka. Naye ekyo kijja kusinziira ku oba ssente ezo zinaakozesebwa okuwa abalala amabanja, mu kifo ky’okusigala nga ziri ku bitabo bya kkampuni. Bwe kinaaba bwe kityo, ab’obusuubuzi obutono n’abalimi abakozesa empeereza zaayo era abatuukiriza ebisaanyizo bayinza okwanguyirwa okufuna ssente ez’okuddukanya emirimu gyabwe.

Engeri AirSmat gy’eneekozesaamu $150,000 ejja kulaga oba esobola okutuukiriza enteekateeka zaayo. Ekkolero bwe litandika okukola, kkampuni ejja kuba esemberedde okutunda ebigimusa byayo ebirimu biochar nga bwe yasuubiza.

Ekikyali tekimanyiddwa kitegeerekeka: tewannalangirirwa amabanja aganaabaawo mu maaso oba olunaku ekkolero lwe linaatandika okukola.

Mu ndowooza yaffe eyesigamye ku biriwo, kino kirabika ng’okuzimba obusobozi bw’emirimu mpolampola. Tekirabika ng’ekinaaleeta enkyukakyuka ey’amangu mu ggwanga lyonna. Trade Lenda bw’ekozesa ssente z’efunye ku magoba amatono n’esigala ng’esengejja abasaba amabanja n’obwegendereza, ate AirSmat n’etandika okukozesa ekkolero lyayo, zombi ziyinza okwongera ku busobozi bw’abasuubuzi n’abalimi okufuna bye beetaaga okukulaakulana.

Engeri abalala gye bayinza okuganyulwamu

Trade Lenda egamba nti oluvannyuma lwa Village Capital okugiteekamu $300,000, yafunye enteekateeka z’okwewola $2 million okuva mu bagaba ssente ab’omu kitundu ku magoba ag’okusasula agali wansi. Ssente ezo bw’ezissa mu mabbanja g’obusuubuzi agafunibwa mu ngeri ya digito ne mu mpeereza z’ebyensimbi ezigattibwa mu mpeereza endala, obusuubuzi obutono n’obwa wakati awamu n’abalimi abatuukiriza ebisaanyizo bayinza okufuna amakubo amalala ag’okufuna ssente ez’okuddukanya emirimu.

Naye waliwo ebiyinza okulemesa kino. Kkampuni eyinza okukakasa ennyo ebisaanyizo by’abasaba amabanja. Abawolebwa bayinza obutaba na busobozi bumala kusasula, oba kkampuni n’efiirwa ssente olw’amabanja agatasasulwa. Era eyinza okusalawo okukozesa ssente okusasula amabanja amakadde n’okuddukanya emirimu gyayo, mu kifo ky’okuwa amabanja amapya.

AirSmat yo erina ekirala ky’erina okusooka okutuukiriza. Bw’etandika okukozesa ekkolero, abalimi bayinza okwanguyirwa okufuna ebigimusa byayo. Era bayinza okwanguyirwa okufuna emikisa gy’okuyingiza ssente ku katale ka kaboni kkampuni gy’egamba nti egaba. Ekkolero bwe lirwawo okutandika, byombi bijja kulinda.

Ani ayinza okuganyulwa, era atya?

Trade Lenda y’eganyuddwa amangu. Efunye $300,000, era egamba nti oluvannyuma yafunye enteekateeka z’okwewola okuva mu bagaba ssente ab’omu kitundu ku magoba amatono. Ssente ezo bwe zigiyamba okugaziya emirimu gy’okuwola, eyinza okwongera amaanyi mu kuteesa n’abagaba ssente ku bukwakkulizo bw’okuzifuna.

AirSmat nayo eganyuddwa butereevu. $150,000 zaayo zaategekeddwa kumaliriza kkolero, kulitandika n’okwongera ku bungi bw’ebigimusa by’ekola eby’okutunda.

Ku balimi n’ab’obusuubuzi obutono, ebinaavaamu tebinnakakasibwa. Mu myezi mukaaga okutuuka ku 12 egijja, bayinza okwanguyirwa okufuna empeereza. Naye kino kijja kubaawo singa abagala okwewola batuukiriza ebisaanyizo, era kkampuni zombi ne zikozesa ssente okwongera ku busobozi bwazo okukola.

Ebiyinza okubaawo

Ekisinga okusuubirwa. Trade Lenda bw’essa ssente z’ewoledde ku magoba amatono mu kuwola abalala, ate AirSmat n’emaliriza okutandika ekkolero awatali kutaataganyizibwa kwa maanyi, emirimu giyinza okugaziwa mpolampola mu myezi mukaaga okutuuka ku 12 egijja. Enkyukakyuka mu ggwanga lyonna teyandibadde ya mangu.

Mu mbeera eyo, abantu abasingawo abatuukiriza ebisaanyizo bafuna empeereza za Trade Lenda. AirSmat yo esemberera okukola ebigimusa eby’okutunda. Okweyongera kw’amabanja agawolebwa, okutuuka ku beewola abasingawo n’okulangirira nti ekkolero litandise byandiwagidde okusuubira kuno.

Ebintu bwe bitambula obulungi okusinga bwe bisuubirwa. Ssente ezifunibwa ku magoba amatono bwe ziviirako okweyongera okw’amaanyi mu busobozi bwa Trade Lenda okugaba amabanja amapya, ate AirSmat n’ekola ebigimusa mu bungi obwesigika era n’ebituusa ku baguzi, abalala bangi bayinza okuganyulwa. Mu bano mulimu obusuubuzi obutono n’obwa wakati, abalimi ne bannaabwe mu kugaba n’okutuusa ebintu.

Mu mbeera eyo, ssente ensawo z’esoose okuteeka mu Nigeria zandiviiriddeko emirimu gy’obusuubuzi okugaziwa. Endagaano empya ez’okukolagana mu kuwola, okutuuka ku bakasitoma abasingawo n’okukakasa nti ekkolero likola ebigimusa eby’okutunda byandibadde biraga nti kino kigenda mu maaso.

Ebintu bwe bitatambula bulungi. Obulabe bw’amabanja obutasasulwa bwe bukoma ku ssente Trade Lenda z’esobola okuwola, oba AirSmat n’erwawo okutandika ekkolero, ensawo ejja kuba eyongeddeko kitono ku kkampuni z’eteekamu ssente olw’okuyingira Nigeria.

Ssente zijja kuba ziweereddwayo, naye abee wola n’abalimi bajja kulaba enkyukakyuka ntono mu mirimu gyabwe. Okukakanyaza ebisaanyizo by’okwewola, amabanja agawolebwa okweyongera empola oba enteekateeka y’ekkolero okulwawo byandikendeezezza essuubi ly’okuganyulwa okugazi.

Eby’okugoberera mu maaso
