This was as it called on teachers across sub-Saharan Africa
with innovative educational projects to apply for the 2023 MSII SDG Challenge.
The challenge is open to practising teachers based anywhere
in sub-Saharan Africa for exclusive access to mentoring, training, and relevant
networking opportunities.
A statement by the organization on Thursday stated that the
programme is aimed at enabling teachers to develop scalable education projects
and assist in developing innovative community projects focusing on quality
education and gender equality.
The statement read, “Application for Cohort 3 of the MSII
SDG Challenge is now open to teachers who believe that education is the key to
innovation and are passionate enough to develop solutions that improve the
African education system for the better.”
The statement noted that teachers selected to participate in
the MSII SDG Challenge will receive an initial grant of $2,000 for their
projects, go through a comprehensive incubation programme and will be further
considered for a follow-up grant of up to $10,000 and an accelerator
opportunity.
In addition, all accepted teachers will acquire access to
the 1 million teachers platform, a
unique platform with access to high-quality teaching resources to boost their
project and teaching outcomes.
It added, “Interested participants can apply for Cohort 3 of
the MSII SDG Challenge by visiting
www.msiisdg.org. The deadline for submission of applications is May 20,
