A grant of $10,000 has been announced by the Muhammad Sanusi II Sustainable Development Goals Initiative for educators in sub-Saharan Africa.
This came as it urged teachers in Sub-Saharan Africa to submit applications for the 2023 MSII SDG Challenge with creative educational projects.
Practicing teachers from anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa may enter the challenge to get exclusive access to mentoring, training, and useful networking possibilities.
The program, according to a statement released by the organization on Thursday, is designed to help instructors create innovative community projects that are focused on high-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, 2023.”
