Innovation in Africa lifting off

The African Innovation Foundation has announced a call for entries for the Innovation Prize for Africa 2016. The initiative aims to mobilise African innovators and entrepreneurs, supplying Africa with more opportunities in the future.

In celebration of Women's Month, the Robin Hood Foundation hosted its first Future Women of Africa conference, where 1,200 young women were taught practical skills to change their lives.
