LEAP Africa has supported about 200 social entrepreneurs in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Cameroon, Burundi, Uganda, and Tanzania through the Social Innovators Programme (SIP) in the past 10 years
The management of LEAP Africa disclosed this while hinting on activities lined up for its 10th edition of its annual Social Innovators Programme and Awards (SIPA) 2022 and its 20th anniversary celebration billed for today in Lagos.
The SIP, they said provides LEAP Africa with the opportunity to deepen its engagement with social entrepreneurs and foster sectoral collaboration with the over 200 alumni social innovators.
To also celebrate two decades of youth leadership development in Africa, LEAP Africa will meet with its partners, funders, board of directors and staff at a gala night tagged – LEAP @20: Celebrating Impact, Redefining the Future. It will be an evening of reflection on its collective achievements and milestones while sharing insights into the journey for the next two decades.
At the dinner, LEAP Africa is expected to host governors of Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Ogun, Edo, Taraba, Anambra and the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It will also host captains of industry, thought leaders, and corporate and private organisation leaders. At the Gala, LEAP will give awards to deserving individuals, organisations and government partners who have contributed to LEAP Africa’s vision over the years.
