According to a statement by the organisation, the grant is open to all practising teachers based anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa and calls on any one of them with innovative educational projects to apply for the 2023 MSII SDG Challenge.
The initiative will provide exclusive mentoring, training, and relevant networking opportunities to chosen candidates.
The programme is aimed at enabling teachers to develop scalable education projects and assist in developing innovative community projects focusing on quality education and gender equality.
The statement read, “Application for Cohort 3 of the MSII SDG Challenge is now open to teachers who believe that education is the key to innovation and are passionate enough to develop solutions that improve the African education system for the better.”
Selected teachers for the MSII SDG Challenge will receive an initial grant of $2,000 for their projects then will go through a comprehensive incubation programme and will be further considered for a follow-up grant of up to $10,000 and an accelerator opportunity.
In addition, all accepted teachers will acquire access to the 1 million teachers platform, a unique platform with access to high-quality teaching resources to boost their project and teaching outcomes.
