Why is UNDP investing in initiatives like the timbuktoo Bootcamp for Accelerator Managers? Through timbuktoo, UNDP is working to strengthen Africa's innovation ecosystem by supporting the institutions that help entrepreneurs succeed. Rather than replacing existing incubators and accelerators, the initiative seeks to equip them with the tools, networks, and capabilities needed to better support founders and startups. In this reflection, Joan Manda, the Global lead of timbuktoo shares why strengthening the broader ecosystem—from incubators and accelerators to policy and partnerships—is critical to unlocking innovation and economic opportunity across Africa. #timbuktoo #UNDP #AfricaInnovation #StartupEcosystems #Entrepreneurship
