The initiative JAMII Femmes aims to increase the impact of African women entrepreneurs in the African economy and support the creation of innovative solutions for sustainable development that contribute positive change in Africa, improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of people.
JAMII Femmes is a great opportunity to develop skills, access a grant and join a network of 7000 women.
Programme implementation
For this second year, the Coca-Cola Foundation e a Women In Africa are offering a multi-stage programme to 7,000 women in three countries.
Phase 1
- Education: access to the Honoris United Universities Certificate (cf curriculum) and expert masterclasses for 7000 women
This programme is inclusive and selective at the same time. That's why Education Pillar, which is extremely important for women entrepreneurs, is open to new and experienced women entrepreneurs. With this, we also hope to create a community where experienced women entrepreneurs can also inspire those starting out.
As the programme progresses, the selection criteria will focus on entrepreneurial performance.
