The African Union is inviting innovators, educators, and organisations across Africa to apply for the Innovating Education in Africa (IEA) 2026 Programme, with grants of up to $50,000 available for impactful education solutions.
If you are building a solution that improves how children learn, how young people gain skills, or how education systems work, this is a major opportunity to scale your impact.
The programme targets real, proven innovations already making a difference and aims to support solutions that can be expanded across African countries.
Successful applicants will not only receive funding but also gain continental recognition, policy engagement opportunities, and access to a wider network of partners and stakeholders.
