Many thanks to the great group of Accelerator leaders who gathered at Sankalp in Nairobi, Kenya back in February to update and expand our Accelerator Focus Map.
We discovered that there were 5 main clusters of organizational support for entrepreneurs in Africa. Unfortunately due to resolution issues with our website host, the image we created is a bit difficult to read, so we have provided a list of the 5 clusters below for easier reference.
