In 2019, 3,050 African entrepreneurs benefited from the programme, a number which will meaningfully increase in 2020.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation, the leading African-funded and founded philanthropy committed to empowering African entrepreneurs, is now accepting applications for the 2019 cohort of the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme.
Elumelu made the commitment after presenting 50 beneficiaries of the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa
The 2018 cohort includes an additional 250 entrepreneurs to the standard selection of 1,000, thanks to a $1 million partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross to support 200 entrepreneurs in conflict and fragile zones of Nigeria (the North East where the Boko Haram scourge is felt and the Niger Delta region, which suffers environmental degradation from oil spillage), a $200,000 agreement with the United Nations Development Programme to support 40 pan-African entrepreneurs, and a $50,000 partnership with Indorama to support 10 Nigerians.
