<x-flowed>Ripples from the Zambezi
Passion, Entrepreneurship, and the Rebirth of Local Economies
by Ernesto Sirolli
Ernesto Sirolli
However well intentioned, Sirolli points out, inappropriate development
often creates more problems than it
solves. Thus was the genesis of this exciting alternative to traditional
economic development which has been successfully implemented in Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, and in fourteen urban and rural communities in the U.S.
Based on the fundamental principles that 1) big, modern, and expensive is
not necessarily the best solution; and 2) if people don't ask for help,
leave them alone, Sirolli developed an innovative program to revitalize
urban and rural economies, one person at a time. Through "Enterprise
Facilitation," depressed communities can build lasting hope and prosperity
by first helping individuals to recognize their talents and their business
passion, and then providing the skills and technology necessary to
transform their dreams into meaningful and rewarding work.
Ernesto Sirolli is the recipient of the Silver Jubilee Award for the Best
Job Creating Project in Australia. He has six years experience working for
local self-reliance in African countries and twelve years implementing
Enterprise Facilitation programs in the U.S. and other countries. He lives
in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he has established eight Enterprise
Facilitation Projects.
