Recommended Actions

 
  • Provide practical and supportive guidance and tools for leadership teams to identify, then manage, mental health and wellbeing challenges on a consistent basis.

    Pilot the guidance and tools in 5 diverse African scale-ups, and incorporate lessons learnt.

    Identify potential funders, implementation partners and ecosystem leaders to operationalise the programme widely.

  • In a consultative and collaborative manner, identify and evaluate the wide range of national and regional initiatives to address issues across the talent spectrum, from formal education to reskilling of existing employees. Highlight those that have high potential, and can be scaled.

    Propose short-, medium- and long-term interventions at each level of the ecosystem, from pan-African to individual venture. Identify potential funding partners, such as international governments and investors, to fund wider implementation of the strategy by ecosystem partners.
