Accelerators and incubators drive innovation and entrepreneurship, but traditional models often overlook the unique needs of entrepreneurs and their communities. This session, as part of Glocal Evaluation Week, explores how participatory approaches can engage stakeholders in design, decision-making and evaluation for enterprise support organizations such as incubators and accelerators. Abdullahi Ibrahim at LEAP Africa and Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement and Impact team, provide case studies while sharing how co-creation leads to more adaptive, sustainable and impactful startup support programs.
