Program areas at Mastercard Foundation
Mastercard Foundation's partnership with Mennonite Economic Development Associates of Canada is an innovative fund-of-funds initiative that will invest in Africa-focused investment vehicles and provide business development services to strengthen capacity and promote inclusive growth. This initiative will provide capital to at least 20 gender-diverse African Investment Vehicle teams in priority sectors, resulting in at least 250,000 additional work opportunities for financially disadvantaged young people.
Mastercard Foundation's partnership with Camfed Canada will support 62,000 young women in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana and Malawi in secondary education by providing them with skills that will enable them to transition into tertiary education, leadership roles, employment, or self-employment. The partnership will also enable institutions and educational systems to be more effective through evidence-based decision making, enhanced capacities, and innovation.
Mastercard Foundation's partnership with World Food Programme will provide post-harvest loss and access to market support to one million smallholder farmers across eight African countries. The partnership will also create 500,000 agricultural work opportunities for financially disadvantaged young people by reducing post-harvest losses and supporting financially disadvantaged young people to find and create new work opportunities along key agriculture value chains.
