A new initiative will connect African women entrepreneurs with markets, mentorship, access to finance and digital commerce opportunities under a partnership between Digital African Woman (DAW) and LEAP Africa.
The initiative, launched in Nairobi over the weekend, through the DAW Marketplace, will give 31 participants in LEAP Africa's Leadership Accelerator Programme (LAP) from 12 African countries free access to the platform for 12 months.
The package, valued at $20,000, aims to help the women start, scale and develop their businesses while providing access to a pan-African network of founders and business leaders.
The partnership brings together LEAP Africa's work developing young women leaders through LAP and DAW's work building entrepreneurial ecosystems for African women.
