UNICEF StartUp Lab Accelerator Programme 2026 for young Ghanaian Social Impact Startups

The UNICEF StartUp Lab Accelerator Programme 2026 invites Ghanaian startups and innovators to co-develop practical solutions to strengthen child protection and labor systems. The challenge focuses on early risk detection, referral, data interoperability, and linking children and families to education, social protection, and employment pathways, with potential piloting within existing government projects.

Tailored mentorship from industry and development experts; technical guidance to refine products and business models; exposure to global innovation and investment networks; opportunities to collaborate within UNICEF’s ecosystem.

Solutions should be co-created with government counterparts and have potential for piloting and scale within Ghana’s public systems.
