Policy Hackathon

To anchor our research and build networks around our subject matter,  we have shared our vision and gathered insights from stakeholders across Africa, including joining AfriLabs’ Annual Gathering 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda, our first Female Founders Takeover event. Our second Female Founders Takeover event took us to Ghana, where we hosted a policy laboratory with a group of women entrepreneurs in Accra, leading startups in diverse industries including agriculture, fashion and tech. The session uncovered the realities of building businesses in Ghana, discussed the entrepreneurship policy environment, and generated policy solutions, ranging from ideas that could be implemented today, to moonshot ideas of the future. We are proud to share the FAME Policy Brief!
