Acumen West Africa - Invest Salone Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in Sub Saharan Africa with a poverty rate of 54%, and just 7% of the population (450,000 people) earns more than $5 a day. Sierra Leone’s economic activity was severely impacted by the Ebola epidemic leading to a loss of £2.2 billion. The country has a large underdeveloped, informal private sector with a severe skilled labor deficit. Only 62% of the working age population participates in the labor market and just 10% receive wage employment. Further, the rural poor predominantly work in the informal sector and most are subsistence farmers; women represent ~50% of smallholder farmers. While agriculture development is widely considered one of the fastest ways to raise incomes, market failures are constraining growth and poverty remains particularly acute in rural areas. 

Acumen has observed that a range of market level barriers and ecosystem challenges impede enterprise development in Sierra Leone that narrow the funnel of investable businesses, including adequate available legal and audit support, tax and regulatory challenges, availability of working capital and critical talent gaps. To address these challenges, Acumen is partnering with Invest Salone by building the capacity of early stage companies in Sierra Leone to become investment-ready; catalyzing investment capital into these companies, and providing technical assistance to support companies to scale, improve investment-readiness and attract additional capital.
Acumen Africa Inclusive Work Initiative Empowering Africa’s young people with decent, quality jobs is critical to achieving just, green
and inclusive societies. This is why Acumen East and West Africa are partnering with the
Challenge Fund for Youth Employment (CFYE), funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, between 2022-25 to find and invest in youth-inclusive business models under our Inclusive Work Initiative (IWI). Under the initiative, Acumen aims to cultivate, scale and invest in 20 inclusive businesses that are targeting the creation and improvement of 15,000 jobs for African youth , with 50% targeted for women. For all investments in East and West Africa between 2022-25, Acumen will apply a youth employment lens to track the number of youth (under the age of 35) employed by our
companies. We will also offer targeted technical assistance to support these businesses to hire
and retain more youth employees.
Bridging the funding gap for early stage off-grid energy companies Acumen launched the Pioneer Energy Investment Initiative (PEII) to bridge the funding gap for early stage off-grid energy companies and accelerate energy access across the developing world. By investing in companies with the potential to validate new business models, scale, and attract additional capital, the PEII will demonstrate ways that risk-tolerant patient capital can bring energy access to populations that have not yet been reached by the expanding off-grid sector. The PEII invests in companies delivering off-grid energy from renewable sources in India, East Africa, West Africa, and Pakistan, with a focus on solar home systems in new markets, mini and micro grids, and innovations in productive use. Through investing, helping to scale businesses, and capturing the voice of new energy customers through Lean Data, they hope to impact 8M people by 2026. Phase II of the PEII is supported with a contribution of GBP1 million from the Carbon Trust, as implementing partner for DFID, under the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) initiative. This funding has enabled the PEII to make an additional new investment in mini-grid company PowerGen, and publish a report in October 2019 called “Lighting the Way: Roadmap to Exits in Off-Grid Energy”.

Enhancing Data, Economy, and Agriculture in the Middle East and North Africa Améliorer les données, l'économie et l'agriculture au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord This grant will support activities that foster collaboration across IDRC programs and contribute to Canada's presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). IDRC's regional office in Cairo will fund four key activities: -Produce a policy road map for data-driven innovation in the region. The road map will identify concrete steps governments and businesses can take to harness data-driven innovation in the areas of food security and youth employment. -Train government and media communicators in the skills and tools needed to research, analyze, organize, and visualize data to produce more interactive forms of journalism and policy analysis. -Hold an event to examine the links between agriculture and employment. -Enhance development of IDRC-funded projects in the region by providing travel grants and grant administration support to prospective recipients. Cette subvention financera des activités favorisant la collaboration dans le cadre des programmes du CRDI et contribuera à la présence du Canada au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord (MOAN). 

Le bureau régional du CRDI au Caire financera quatre activités clés :

- élaborer une feuille de route en matière de politiques pour l'innovation axée sur les données dans la région. La feuille de route indiquera les étapes concrètes que les gouvernements et les entreprises peuvent suivre pour favoriser l'innovation axée sur les données dans les domaines de la sécurité alimentaire et de l'emploi des jeunes; 

- former les communicateurs des gouvernements et des médias pour qu'ils maîtrisent les compétences et les outils nécessaires pour la recherche, l'analyse, l'organisation et la visualisation de données afin de produire des formes plus interactives de journalisme et d'analyse des politiques; 

- tenir un événement pour examiner les liens entre l'agriculture et l'emploi; 

- élaborer un plus grand nombre de projets financés par le CRDI dans la région en offrant des subventions de voyage et en fournissant du soutien administratif aux bénéficiaires potentiels.
2015 External Program Reviews of Global Health Policy and Science and Innovation Programs Examens externes en 2015 des programmes sur la Politique pour la santé mondiale et la Science et l'Innovation External reviews are independent evaluations of IDRC's work. They are routinely performed for each prospectus-based program once every five years to provide a summative evaluation of the program's performance. This project will allow for external reviews of the following initiatives: -Governance for Equity in Health Systems -Non-Communicable Disease Prevention -Information and Networks Four other programs are being reviewed separately: -Ecosystems for Human Health (EcoHealth) -Climate Change and Water -Supporting Inclusive Growth -Governance, Security, and Justice About the evaluations The primary intended audience for the external evaluations is the IDRC Board of Governors. Secondary users include senior management, program staff, and IDRC donor partners. The reviews are used for accountability to the Board for program implementation and delivery. They also provide input to programming for learning and improvement. The first set of external reviews took place in 1999, covering IDRC's 12 programs at that time. Since then, IDRC has conducted external reviews by program area. Les examens externes sont des évaluations indépendantes du travail du CRDI. Ils sont habituellement réalisés pour chaque programme relevant d'un descriptif, une fois tous les cinq ans, pour fournir une évaluation sommaire du rendement du programme. Ce projet permettra d'effectuer l'examen externe des initiatives suivantes : 
- Gouvernance pour l'équité dans les systèmes de santé 
- Prévention des maladies non transmissibles 
- Information et réseaux

Quatre autres programmes sont examinés séparément : 
- Écosystèmes pour la santé humaine (ÉCOSANTÉ)
- Changements climatiques et eau 
- Croissance pour tous 
- Gouvernance, sécurité et justice 

À propos des examens
Les examens externes s'adressent avant tout au Conseil des gouverneurs du CRDI. La haute direction, l'équipe même du programme et les bailleurs de fonds partenaires du CRDI sont des utilisateurs secondaires. Les examens servent à assurer la reddition de comptes au Conseil pour ce qui est de la mise en oeuvre et de l'exécution du programme. Ils réunissent aussi des données, qui alimentent la programmation à des fins d'apprentissage et d'amélioration.

La première série d'examens externes a eu lieu en 1999 et a couvert, à l'époque, 12 programmes du CRDI. Depuis, le CRDI a réalisé des examens externes par domaine de programme.
