Applications open for African pandemic resilience accelerator

African e-health startups have been invited to apply for the fifth cohort of AUDA-NEPAD’s Home Grown Solutions Accelerator for Pandemic Resilience.

The Home Grown Solutions (HGS) Accelerator for Pandemic Resilience is an initiative that aims to accelerate the growth of African healthcare companies to strengthen the continent’s pandemic resilience, in line with the African Union’s Energize Africa Initiative and Agenda 2063 aspirations.

This is achieved through offering hands-on and tailored support to early-, growth- and mature stage healthcare businesses. A pilot featuring five East African startups was launched in 2021, followed by a successful pan-African expansion in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Applications are open here until February 28.
