MENTORSHIP, COACHING AND NETWORKING

MEST Africa in partnership with Mastercard Foundation is seeking applications for its accelerator program to empower visionary EdTech companies by providing them with the resources, mentorship, and support needed to accelerate their growth and impact. This initiative aimed at revolutionizing the educational landscape in Ghana through technology-driven solutions. By fostering collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship, this accelerator is dedicated to catalyzing positive change in education by equipping the next generation of learners with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Following the successful conclusion of the Mastercard Foundation Fund for Rural Prosperity and the impact and insights gained from it, a new fund has emerged. The Mastercard Foundation Fund for Resilience and Prosperity is a seven-year, US$ 126 million Fund that aims to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the agriculture, climate adaptation and digital economy sectors in 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main objective of the Fund is to unlock enterprise growth and catalyze, scale-up and sustain the creation of dignified and fulfilling work opportunities for young women and men, young people with disabilities and refugee youth.
