EtriLabs is one of the leading social innovation hubs in West Africa. For over 15 years, we have been designing and implementing programs for women and youth across Africa, with a focus on three core areas: health, education, and gender inclusion, with a particular emphasis on entrepreneurship and leadership.

Our programs are developed and delivered in partnership with major international organizations such as UNFPA, the OIF, the European Union, and leading global foundations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Mastercard Foundation.

With physical offices in Cotonou (Benin) and Dakar (Senegal), we have the operational capacity to deploy programs across Francophone Africa and in over 15 countries across the continent.

As one of the organizations directly affected by the recent USAID funding cuts, we see this moment not just as a challenge, but as an opportunity. We are committed to becoming a catalyst for change within Africa’s impact ecosystem — connecting stakeholders, fostering collaboration, and mobilizing collective intelligence to address urgent challenges and drive resilience and growth.
