Andela IDA

completed

IFC will be managing the delivery of a technical talent accelerator to be implemented by its client, Andela. Andela’s mission is to advance human potential by powering today’s teams and investing in tomorrow’s leaders. It helps leading global technology companies build high-performing engineering teams by investing in Africa’s most talented software developers. Backed by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Google Ventures and Spark Capital, among others, Andela is catalyzing the growth of tech ecosystems across the African continent while solving the global technical talent shortage. Since 2014, Andela has since launched operations in Nigeria, Kenya, and is in the early stages of its expansion in to Uganda. It has received more than 75,000 applications and hired ~700 developers (as of April 2018) -- the majority of whom are working as full-time, distributed team members with leading tech companies around the world. Andela launched its operations in Uganda in June 2017. IFC will support Andela in enhancing development impact by accelerating its growth path in its third expansion market.
