Mastercard Foundation's Dina Randrianasolo on Inclusion, AT, and the Future of Work in Africa

Описание: In this compelling keynote from the Inclusive Africa conference 2025, Dina Randrianasolo, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Innovation at the Mastercard Foundation, shares a powerful vision for a continent where all young people have the opportunity to thrive. She highlights that the Foundation's "Young Africa Works" strategy is built on the belief that there can be no opportunity without inclusion.

Dina outlines the Mastercard Foundation's three-pillar strategy for disability inclusion: Capacity Accompaniment, Elevating Voices, and Building Enabling Environments. She shares shocking statistics, revealing that while 2.5 billion people worldwide need assistive technology (AT), access in Africa is as low as 3%. This is not just a statistic, she argues, but a call to action to support African entrepreneurs in creating affordable AT, strengthening supply chains, and building a dedicated workforce. She concludes by inviting the audience to join the Mastercard Foundation in building an inclusive Africa, one where diversity is a strategic advantage, not something to accommodate.
