The Women Entrepreneurship for Africa (WE4A) has selected 30 female entrepreneurs to receive up to an additional €50,000 in grant funding as well as an additional three months of training focused on growth.

The 30 companies were selected from over 90 entrepreneurs that pitched their solutions at the WE4A Acceleration Programme demo day set to support women entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa to flourish and contribute to employment creation in their communities.

“The acceleration and growth programmes show how the enormous potential of growth-oriented, women-owned businesses can be better harnessed for employment and prosperity on the African continent. SAFEEM has proven to be a highly professional implementation partner, providing needs-based training and mentoring to the selected women entrepreneurs and guiding them towards investment readiness.” Elmar Kerck, GIZ Team Leader WE4A.
