12-Week Leadership Programmes

Operating across the entire healthcare value chain (medical products and technologies, research, insurance, financing, service delivery, governance, and workforce).

The African Healthcare Funders Forum is a 12-week Leadership Programme followed by nine months of supporting activities for Africa’s leading social investors/ funders – grant-makers, private equity/ venture capital fund managers, angel investors, impact investors, development finance institutions, mainstream social investors, etc.

During the Forum, CEOs of innovative African healthcare companies, carefully selected by Ashoka, will join leading social investors to explore the challenges and opportunities that the sector provides.

They will dissect business models, analyze different funding approaches, explore partnership opportunities, showcase innovative solutions and discuss their views on the future of healthcare.

The 12-Month Programme Is Divided Into Two Parts:

Part One

Participants will join weekly online workshops where experts will share case studies on innovative funding models and how to de-risk private capital funding for African healthcare. Graduates will be recognised as African Impact Leaders

Part Two

Part Two: Immersion Programme – At the end of the 12 weeks, the African Impact Leaders will continue on a nine-month immersion programme designed to build a strong community of leaders.
