Are you representing an initiative that can improve the situation? For the sick, for the healthcare system, or for the millions of people whose lives are – or soon will be – affected? If so, then apply now.
The Corona Action Rwanda gathers initiatives and connects them with grants and support. Ideas, projects and startups that do the most important work in the world right now get exposure. They want to increase the likelihood of success, and mitigate the damage caused by this global crisis.
The coronavirus disease COVID-19 is a global pandemic with an unprecedented effect in Rwanda. We are currently experiencing the worst public health crisis in this generation.
This is an initiative started by Jasiri and Rwanda Ministry of Innovation and ICT. Jasiri identifies high potential entrepreneurs, assists them to find co-founders and identify the most impactful opportunities, and provides holistic support from idea through to scale. Many partner organisations are joining, and anyone is welcomed to support the solutions.
Type of Solutions
- Jasiri is looking for innovative, time-sensitive solutions that directly address issues caused by the coronavirus. They are best placed to solutions with the potential for scalability & sustainability. Furthermore, they are looking for evidence that the solution adds contribution beyond existing solutions out there already.
- To ensure they are adding value, they are looking for solutions that don’t qualify for assistance from alternative grant funding bodies.
- Finally, please check the list of partners who have so generously offered support to initiatives working on this virus before applying for funding, as they may be able to help you directly, e.g. with development, banking, hosting and legal services.
