l innovation for sustainable and inclusive development. This impact report aims to highlight some of these results. GIZ implements Make-IT on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), together with more than 30 corporate and financing partners, social enterprises, hubs and networks. Meet them in chapter one! In its first two years, Make-IT focused on Kenya and Nigeria. In 2019, we expanded to Ghana and Tunisia, and Rwanda will follow. So far, Make-IT has supported tech entrepreneurs from 18 African countries. One of our first significant activities was the joint "Make-IT Accelerator" with business partners from the Make-IT Alliance. Building on this, we launched further programmes to improve the international visibility and credibility of African tech entrepreneurs, to catalyse partnerships with financing partners and to strengthen peer-to-peer learning and mentoring. These measures reached more than 400 tech entrepreneurs on the continent, 148 of whom have entered Make-IT’s highly selective start-up pipeline. Meet them in chapter two! Through our cooperation with national partners, we support African governments in establishing future-oriented institutional frameworks for digital entrepreneurship. Policy dialogues, better access to markets and finance, as well as capacity development for intermediaries in the ecosystems, such as hubs, mentors and public support organisations, help strengthen enabling environments for young entrepreneurs in the digital sector. You can find an overview in chapter three! We will continue to form partnerships and share methodologies for thriving tech entrepreneurship ecosystems in Africa. Find out how to collaborate with us in chapter four!" (Editorial)

As a contribution to the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), each year since 2003 the WSA has recognised the world’s most innovative digital applications and solutions for implementing sustainable development goals. The African winners and best entries for 2017 make up half of the 20 companies presented here. The other half is made up of innovations selected by the members of the Make-IT Alliance. In cooperation with technology hubs in Kenya and Nigeria, investors, German chambers of commerce abroad and startup networks, Make-IT launched the Make-IT Accelerator in Africa in December 2017. The nine-month support programme for innovations of particular importance for sustainable and inclusive development is being implemented in Nairobi and Lagos." (Foreword)
