[BATN Foundation @BATNFoundation]

Ibiam Chioma, a graduate of Fisheries from Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, was a beneficiary of the BATNF Graduate Agripreneur Program in 2025.

Today, Chioma is not just a graduate. She is an agribusiness owner, building a sustainable venture and creating job opportunities for others.

This is the kind of impact BATNF is driving. Empowering young people with the skills, funding, and support they need to succeed in agriculture.

When young people are equipped to build in this space, they don’t just transform their own lives. They create jobs, strengthen food systems, and contribute to national growth.

Agriculture is not just a sector. It is a pathway to economic empowerment and a more food-secure nation.

[Cascador @CascadorNigeria]

Women power a significant share of Africa’s business landscape.

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, over 80% of women in the labour market are self-employed or running their own ventures — across virtually every sector.

But when it comes to venture capital, the story shifts.

Less than 10% of startup funding goes to companies with at least one female founder.

Our Program Director has seen both sides of this gap — as a founder raising capital, and now working closely with entrepreneurs navigating the same journey. The challenge isn’t ambition or capability. It’s that the structures shaping access to capital were not built with women in mind.

This is what she’ll be unpacking at HoaQ’s upcoming AMA:
“The Capital Gap: Who Gets Funded and Why.”

If you're building, fundraising, or trying to better understand how investment decisions are made in Africa, this conversation is for you.

🗓 Date: March 26
🕔 Time: 5:00 PM WAT

Join us live. Let’s talk about closing the gap.

Access to justice is not cost-neutral. Gender-responsive budgeting is essential to remove financial barriers and ensure women and girls can access legal services, protection, and support systems.
