African pandemic resilience accelerator

We are an acceleration program for growth and mature stage African companies that contribute to pandemic resilience, offering hands-on, highly tailored support to help each selected company improve and grow.

We are founded by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and other leading private and public organizations.

We are launching in East Africa in January 2021 and invite you to be part of our inaugural cohort! If you are interested, please complete and submit this application by 1st January 2021. We estimate that it takes 30-45 minutes, excluding the preparation of relevant documents.
