Projektziel


The Kofi Annan Award for Innovation in Africa (KAAIA) 2021 focuses on supporting projects by Africa-based start-up companies that offer innovative solutions to achieve SDG 3 ("Health and Wellbeing"). The Award was launched by the Austrian Federal Chancellery (BKA) in cooperation with the World Food Programme (WFP), the Kofi Annan Foundation and the Austrian Development Agency. The applicant and its project proposal were selected by a high class jury of international experts as one of the three Awardees of the Kofi Annan Award 2021 and will be funded with a maximum amount of € 250,000.

The applicant is a young company established in Nigeria in 2015. Its primary purpose is to improve access to sexual and reproductive health services and products. The applicant has envisioned a distribution model that combines online marketplace model with e-centre service agents in rural areas/periurban to solve the problem of cost and last mile delivery. For this, they have already secured partner outlets in major cities and designed the structure on how the marketplace and e-centres will function. The team also intends to update their existing doctor platform with a robust chatbot option.
