Objec tive
The main objective of the Impact assessment exercise is to understand the extent of changes that participating hubs have experienced as a result of their participation in ACBP activities. In summary, the methodology of the assessment exercise adopted a mixed approach to carry out data collection on the program. These include the qualitative and quantitative research methodology. Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted to obtain primary data from innovation hubs across 5 African countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, and Uganda.
About the AfriLabs Capacity Building Programme
The AfriLabs Capacity Building Programme (ACBP) is a 3-year, programme funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) which aims to contribute to the achievement of better innovation outcomes within the African Innovation Ecosystem. Over the years, AfriLabs has carried out research on African hub needs, capacity gaps, and best practices needed to build successful African startups. Based on this research, AfriLabs designed a series of initiatives targeting innovation hubs. These initiatives have been updated and expanded into the AfriLabs Capacity Building Programme (ACBP). The Programme is designed to equip technology hubs with the skills needed to improve their ability and capacity to support the growing number of startups and MSMEs in their communities across Africa. The programme is funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) through the Digital Africa seed fund.
