The startup and innovation sector is currently very male dominated, with women having access to only 20% of traditional funding paths, representing a gap of more than $40 billion. Both Villgro Africa and GTL are committed to playing a part in correcting these imbalances. It has become clear that gender balanced teams are more effective, more sustainable, with greater returns on investment. Additionally, women should not be overlooked as consumers. Having a female perspective in product and service development means more effectively meeting the needs of half of the world’s population.

In addition to grant funding, beneficiaries of this call will receive 12 months of incubation support from both the Villgro Africa and GTL teams, including business modelling, product development, operations, investment readiness, and governance and regulatory affairs.
