Applications are now open for the Flourish Africa Business and Life Skills Programme 2026 (Cohort 5), a high-impact initiative designed to equip female entrepreneurs with the knowledge, funding, and support needed to scale sustainable businesses. With over ₦1.3 billion in grants and training support, the programme is focused on helping women-led businesses grow, build resilience, and contribute meaningfully to economic development in Nigeria.
Why it matters
This programme goes beyond just funding—it is a full ecosystem designed to help women build sustainable and scalable businesses. Across Africa, many female entrepreneurs struggle with access to capital, training, and market opportunities. Flourish Africa addresses this gap by combining business training, mentorship, and funding, ensuring participants are not just funded but also equipped to grow.
Through the initiative, hundreds of women are trained annually, with top participants receiving grants to expand their businesses. This approach strengthens MSMEs, drives job creation, and contributes to inclusive economic growth.
For female entrepreneurs, especially in Nigeria, this is a rare opportunity to gain both capacity and capital—two key barriers to business success.
