The Challenge
The main challenge in Mauritius is to convey to micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises that there are economically viable opportunities to switch to products and services based on social and environmental norms. This can be achieved through an enabling environment. Mauritius identified agriculture, manufacturing and tourism as the priority sectors for SWITCH Africa Green intervention.
