Africa Impact Academy
Ten months that make an organisation fundable
The Africa Impact Academy is MoFund Africa's ten-month programme for African-founded organisations addressing problems in their own communities. We identify them, prepare them, verify how they operate, and position them for capital.
How it works
What happens over ten months
-
Selection
An independent panel of reviewers scores every application against a published rubric, and a verification visit tests the application in person.
-
Onboarding
You set a growth strategy and record baseline data in SikaIQ at an in-person country onboarding in January.
-
Coaching and curriculum
Two live sessions a month, one coaching visit a month at your premises, and curriculum work on the platform between sessions.
-
Intern placement
The intern helps your organisation implement its strategy, and gains hands-on experience that propels their own career.
-
Mid-point review
A second in-person workshop reviews progress against your baseline commitments and prepares you for the final phase of the Academy.
-
Pitch and graduation
Each founder pitches to a panel that evaluates the business case and impact potential, and investments are made in the form of grants and debt financing.
