ImpactHer and EmpowerHer aim to provide women entrepreneurs with the necessary tools, training, mentorship, and networking opportunities to grow their businesses and generate employment opportunities for other women in their respective industries.

Points clés à retenir
In Africa, female entrepreneurs are taking their place in the male-dominated tech world. However, gender bias still makes it harder for them to access finance and grow their businesses. Per Briter Bridges, only 3% of the total funding raised by startups in Africa since 2013 has gone to all-women co-founded teams. Efforts and initiatives like Mastercard's are crucial to increasing female representation in and contribution to the startup space, which remains minute against a faster-growing percentage of ventures run by men.
