Starting from June 2022, WIDU is offering a new grant type: the Local Call. This funding instrument is available directly to local entrepreneurs to boost their businesses in specified thematic areas. Each Local Call addresses a specific topic which may differ from country to country – depending on which economic sector is of major regional importance. In contrast to WIDU's other funding instrument - the Original WIDU Grant - African entrepreneurs can directly apply for funding and coaching, without the participation of the diaspora.
Find out more about the currently available Local Calls, the process and eligibility criteria below.
