HGS pilot featuring 5 East African HGS was launched in 2021, followed by a Pan-African expansion in 2022 supporting 14 HGS and another cohort of 9 HGS was supported in 2023. This year we are launching our 4th cohort from which selected HGS will receive highly customized advisory support delivered by a world class panel of experts.
