AfriLabs Capacity Building Programme Impact Report

personal capacity building.

All suggestions and comments have been noted and would be taken into consideration by the AfriLabs team.

Question 3: What is the potential of ACBP to contribute to better innovation out- comes within the ecosystem?

Participants attest to the contribution of the AfriLabs Capacity Building Programme toward its community. The AfriLabs Academy is very great and interesting with great potential to support current and prospective hub managers with pre-requisite knowledge on the development, management, and sustainability of hubs. The next step should be to track the use of these lessons and how hubs are translating the knowledge to improve the quality of programmes they are developing

Question 4: In what way can AfriLabs as an organization provide better support to improve the sustainability of African hubs?

Respondents shared their insight on approaches to support the sustainability of African hubs. This includes expansion of AfriLabs capacity building programme and contents to support hubs that are transforming into new thematic areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blue Ocean Technology, etc. Secondly, AfriLabs should provide support to in-country training, where all hubs will gather to share learnings and country-specific issues. In addition, this will promote AfriLabs as a community and improve advocacy efforts. Furthermore, AfriLabs should initiate clustering of hubs based on location, needs, or thematic areas, such as IT hubs, social hubs, etc. This will help them share ideas and collaborate better in implementing sustainable solutions.
