Convening for Collective Impact
We create inclusive spaces for shared learning and cross-sector dialogue, culminating in events that connect women leaders and ecosystem influencers. No single actor can close the gender gap in entrepreneurship alone, and real progress requires shared spaces where voices converge, data speaks and solutions scale.
What we do:
- Facilitate multi-stakeholder convenings that bring together funders, accelerators, researchers and entrepreneurs.
- Launch and coordinate Gender Action Collectives, coalitions of organisations driving solutions through data, dialogue and advocacy.
- Provide thought leadership at key forums.
- Design and host events that spotlight women entrepreneurs and shift investment narratives.
- Build platforms for collective problem-solving and coordinated action.
A 2026 Flagship Initiative
We’re launching flagship Gender Action Collectives in Uganda and Tanzania to unite gender-focused support organizations and women entrepreneurs. These collectives will drive measurable change by:
- Leveraging the collective expertise of its members to co-create solutions.
- Driving meaningful conversations on the experiences of women entrepreneurs via research and thought leadership.
- Collecting data on the demographics and needs of women entrepreneurs and measuring the impact of various efforts undertaken in the ecosystem so far.
- Advocating for policy changes that unlock financing and opportunities for women entrepreneurs.
- Tracking progress and measuring impact via robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
These collectives are open to partners committed to transforming Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
