In 2015, the Foundation launched the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme, a $100 million commitment by Tony Elumelu to support 10,000 African entrepreneurs over a 10-year period. Building on the success of the program and its unique ability to identify, mentor and fund entrepreneurs across Africa, the Foundation increasingly shares its robust delivery platform and partners with institutions such as the United Nations Development Programme, the African Development Bank, the International Committee of the Red Cross, GIZ and United Bank for Africa Plc, to create a meaningful and lasting impact across Africa.

To date, the Tony Elumelu Foundation has trained, mentored and funded more than 9,000 young African entrepreneurs in 54 African countries through its entrepreneurship programs, and provides capacity-building support, advice and market links to more than 1 million Africans through its digital networking platform, TEFConnect.

This year’s intervention prioritises the economic recovery of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and young African entrepreneurs, after the disruption of economic activities caused by Covid-19.
