“Empowering entrepreneurs is not just a moral imperative, but also a strategic investment in Africa\u2019s future. By providing the necessary access to capital, mentorship, and resources, we are unlocking the potential of Africa\u2019s entrepreneurial talent, eradicating poverty, driving self-reliance, and paving the way for inclusive growth and prosperity on the continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its initiatives, the Tony Elumelu Foundation has brought 2 million Africans out of poverty. In addition to its self-funded programmes, TEF works with international partners including the EU, the UNDP, the ICRC and the Ikea Foundation. The partnership with the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, is the first with a Gulf based philanthropy and represents a further example of the strong investment, diplomatic and cultural ties between the GCC and Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
