Lending for Education in Africa Partnership LEAP (the ‘Lending for Education in Africa Partnership’) is a social lending fund that provides affordable finance to youth from low and middle-income backgrounds in East Africa who are pursuing their higher education and cannot fully cover the cost of their higher education through conventional loans, bursaries, scholarships or other means. In addition to its tailor-made loans, LEAP also offers its LEAP Fellows career readiness and financial literacy training, and forges partnerships to create pathways to gainful employment for its supported students. LEAP is managed by a dedicated team at Volta Capital, in partnership with the Mandela Institute for Development Studies (MINDS), Future First Global (FFG), Equity Group Foundation (EGF), and Lundin Foundation. LEAP has been active since late 2017. Central to LEAP’s business model is the revolving nature of its social lending fund, whereby loan repayments from its LEAP Fellows are re-deployed for future cohorts of Fellows over time. At the same time, the LEAP fund leverages concessionary funding by blending it with additional private sector impact investments, as it scales and proves the sustainability of its business model

Migration Communication Campaigns in Nigeria and Iraqi Kurdistan A strategic communications campaign to help potential migrants in Nigeria and Iraqi Kurdistan to better understand the risks, realities, and facts of irregular migration. This will enable them to make a more informed decision about irregular migration to Europe. An LGBTQ component is being piloted in KRI and an educational outreach component in Nigeria.
Migration Communications Campaigns Seefar is implementing three migration communication campaigns in The Gambia, Nigeria and Iraqi Kurdistan. Seefar’s research suggests that many potential migrants are not sufficiently informed about key aspects of the journey, such as travel costs, risks and the reality of life in Europe. While migrants are often confident that they know the risks of irregular migration, many doubt they will actually be impacted by these risks. Furthermore, migrants almost always underestimate the financial costs of the journey and the opportunities they will lose at home – leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and other dangers. A communications campaign implemented in origin countries can help fill the knowledge gaps. Accurate and complete information provided by trusted sources subsequently enables potential
migrants to make informed decisions. The communications campaigns in The Gambia, Nigeria and Iraqi Kurdistan
deploy an integrated approach to drive behaviour change. They combine media engagement and online and social media
outreach with direct community influence at the heart of the campaigns. The overall objective of the three campaigns is provide potential migrants in the three countries with factual and useful  information to help them make more informed decisions about migration. By providing this information, the campaign aims to protect vulnerable people from harm and exploitation. Men and women from Nigeria, The Gambia and Iraq aged 16-34 and interested in irregular migration, as well as their families and relatives.
