Knowledge Base HIP Challenge

Why does HIP focus on health innovation?

Health is an area of significant need and opportunity across many communities, making it an ideal context for learning and innovation.

Health challenges affect individuals, families, and communities across Africa and around the world.

By focusing initially on health innovation, participants can work on problems that are meaningful, practical, and closely connected to people's daily lives.

Health innovation can include products, services, education, community interventions, distribution models, digital tools, and other approaches that improve wellbeing.

The health focus provides a practical context for learning innovation and entrepreneurship skills while creating opportunities for positive social impact.
