Entrepreneurial problem-solving skills and a passion to create change are necessary resources to solve big challenges. African entrepreneurs often lack the support of collaborative leadership community.

Persistent youth unemployment and the lack of locally generated income in African economies is leading to unacceptable rates of poverty. Climate change is affecting sub-Saharan African countries disproportionately — resilient communities are needed now to maintain food and economic security into the future. Sub-Saharan Africa is becoming an attractive option for foreign investors looking to foster social value. Yet, capital is still not being channeled to early-stage social enterprises that are perceived to be risky bets (Rockefeller Foundation, Omidyar Network).
