Anzisha Fellowship 2027
Anzisha
About the opportunity:
The Anzisha Fellowship identifies and supports young African entrepreneurs who are already building and growing real businesses. Each year, selected fellows join a multi-year programme designed to strengthen their ventures, speed up growth and increase their ability to create jobs.
Applications for the 2027 intake opened on 29 September 2026, and applying costs nothing. The organisers evaluate applications from November 2026 to March 2027 and announce the new fellows in May 2027. Your business must operate in Africa and serve African customers or beneficiaries, and you need to show real activity, such as customers, revenue or beneficiaries. Having only an idea is not enough.
The fellowship suits young founders who are already running a business or social venture, can give it at least 20 hours a week and want long-term support to grow it.
Who can apply:
- African citizens aged 15 to 22
- Founders of an existing business or social venture
- Applicants who can show real business activity, such as customers, revenue or beneficiaries
- Applicants who can commit at least 20 hours a week to the venture
- Businesses that operate in Africa and serve African customers or beneficiaries
What you get:
- Business development support
- Mentorship
- Access to a multi-year fellowship programme
