About Invest In Her

The Africa Startup Founder Challenge Forum established the Invest In Her Project (IIHP) to accelerate and support the financing of women-led SMEs and startups in the food and agro-processing sectors. The primary goal of the Invest In Her initiative is to mobilize financial resources to empower women-led and women-owned small and medium enterprises in Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, and Senegal. As a purpose-driven initiative, we work with women SMEs empowerment organizations, institutions, and leaders in those countries to identify needs that are appealing and attractive to capital investment.

Since its launching in December 2022, the Invest In Her project (IIH) has built strong connections with women entrepreneurs across the West Africa region, especially in Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, and Senegal.
