In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, we took on an ambitious goal of equipping 1.2 million adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) across seven countries in East and West Africa, with age-appropriate entrepreneurship, employability, and life-skills training, and tools to start and scale their own businesses. We took this on by designing our most ambitious programme yet, combining the organisation’s evidence and experience over the last five decades partnering with girls and women living in poverty across countries in Africa and Asia.
2023 was the first year of implementation with our first cohort of participants. Please click on the link below to read the full document that highlights our experience till December 2023 in the first set of implementing countries – Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Tanzania.
