The programme is led by the World Resources Institute (WRI) in participation with AFR100. Fledge is the knowledge partner, providing world-class skills-building and networking.

It has been designed to build a  network between entrepreneurs, affording them the avenue to sharpen their skills on storytelling and pitching so that they can network with debt and equity funders who can help them reach the next level.
