We are currently working in 37 countries. This number includes 31 African countries and 6 non-African countries across Africa with more than 100 partners on initiatives that increase access to education, financial services, and skills training. Since we started grant-making, the Foundation has worked in a total of 74 countries. This number includes 39 African countries and 35 non-African countries. Since inception, we have worked with 484 partners in total and are currently working with 281 partners.
As part of the Young Africa Works strategy, we intend to deepen our engagement with a smaller number of countries to gain an understanding of their economic priorities and opportunities. Working with governments and the private sector, we take a holistic view of countries and their economies to identify growth sectors and develop a long-term plan to drive system-level change.
