AfriLabs Programmes: A Year of Growth and Impact
Last year marked a significant milestone for the AfriLabs Programmes team as we designed programmes aligned with the AfriLabs Moonshot Goal, aimed at securing $1 billion to drive impactful solutions to Africa’s challenges. These programmes, unveiled at the AfriLabs Annual Gathering in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 2024, focused on four stragtegic verticals which are Gender, Education, Environmental Resilience, and AI. The design of these programmes stems from our existing projects which served as proof of concept for scaling impact and refining our strategy across the African innovation ecosystem. Designed to accelerate transformative change, drive scalable impact, and contribute to Africa’s transformation into a one- trillion-dollar economy, these goals mark a bold step forward in shaping the continent’s future. In addition, we implemented key programmes across Energy, Capacity Development, Investment, Civic Tech, and Digital Innovation. Through our work and leveraging our extensive network of innovation hubs, we reached over 280,000 beneficiaries across all 54 African countries, supporting a diverse range of stakeholders, including innovators, SMEs, startups, students, and young graduates.
and driven sustainable development, reinforcing AfriLabs’ vision of a thriving innovation economy in Africa, powered by the strength of our community. As we embark on a new year, our team is eager to explore new opportunities, deepen our impact, and further strengthen Africa’s innovation economy. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive and dynamic innovation ecosystem that empowers African entrepreneurs and innovators to drive sustainable growth and transformation across the continent.
