1.ClimateTech funding in Africa is expanding, yet concentrated in just a few markets & sectors. 2. The biggest gaps remain at the early stage, especially for women-led and science-based startups. 3. Blended finance holds promise, but poor structuring risks widening inequalities

Behind every smile, many men carry silent battles. Stress, depression, and anxiety don’t make you less of a man — they make you human. Talking about it doesn’t mean weakness, it means healing. #MensMentalHealth #BreakTheSilence #StrongNotSilent #HealingIsStrength #EndTheStigma
