In partnership with The Human Development and Innovation Fund (HDIF) the Embassy
of the Netherlands and Village Capital we are excited to launch the 2020 Investment
Readiness Accelerator for Social Enterprises.
Supporting entrepreneurs helping to solve Tanzania’s social and innovation challenges.
Low Access to Essential Social Services: Tanzania faces immense social
challenges, with a majority of the population lacking access to clean water, the national
energy grid, financial services, and affordable healthcare, education and food.
High Unemployment: Rates of unemployment in Tanzania are rising. Every year,
800,000 Tanzanians enter the labour market but there are only enough jobs for 50,000
of them, of which the vast majority are considered “vulnerable” and informal working
agreements.   
Underdeveloped Innovation Ecosystem: Tanzania has low business growth in part
due to an ecosystem that lacks robust, coordinated pillars of (a) capacity building, (b)
access to networks, and (c) access to appropriate types and sufficient amounts of
capital.
Entrepreneurs can solve these challenges. Innovators have the potential to develop
disruptive and scalable products and services that help this large and growing
population while generating job growth and local economic development. However,
early-stage entrepreneurs often lack the necessary training, networks, and capital to
grow.

Programme Overview
We’re seeking startups from all regions of Tanzania that are tackling the largest
challenges in the country’s most critical social sectors of:
(1) Education
(2) Healthcare
(3) Financial inclusion
(4) Clean energy
(5) Agriculture
(6) Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
The programme includes a series of workshops – these are typically four-day
engagements – that provide our entrepreneurs with training to develop their business
models, financials, pitches, sales pipelines, and other aspects. Entrepreneurs will also
have one-on-one time with mentors, industry experts, investors, top local business
leaders, and potential customers.
Selected startups are required to have one C-level team member attend all three
workshops, and Anza will bear flight and lodging costs for any non-Dar-based
participants.
At the end of the programme, ventures will be selected by other entrepreneurs in
the cohort to get investment from Anza Growth Fund.
The workshops will take place on the following dates
