For 30 days, we asked 30 women from across CcHUB’s pan-African community one question: What would you give the next generation of women coming after you?

Their answers became the “She Gave. Africa Gained.” campaign.

Nominations came in from across the continent. Every nomination made the case that women are changing what’s broken in their…

A large share of African EdTech has been built for the most stable learning environments: reliable connectivity, predictable school routines, and families that can pay. But the categories that matter most for inclusion—disability, disrupted schooling, girls’ participation and retention, and usable education data—often have higher implementation costs and slower adoption cycles.

CcHUB, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, has…

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, a critical conversation is unfolding about the intersection of democracy, technology, and civic engagement.
