The programme aims to support entrepreneurs promoting ecosystem restoration by addressing deforestation, land degradation, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, and adverse climate change. Run by Village Capital, with support from Moody’s Foundation, the Innovation for Ecosystem Restoration Africa 2023 programme attracted applicants from 22 countries across Africa, with the final cohort comprising 10 startups sourced from Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. Village Capital will provide expert training sessions enabling the startups to refine their sustainability solutions, improve their investment readiness as they prepare to scale their startups, and access the organization’s global network of investors.
