Context
timbuktoo Africa Innovation Foundation is a pan-African innovation initiative anchored in UNDP's Regional Bureau for Africa. Its mission is to support African founders to start, grow, and scale — targeting 100,000 enrolled startups and the mobilisation of USD 1 billion for African innovation. Building Africa is the Foundation's weekly live show on LinkedIn Live and Facebook Live, featuring conversations with African startup founders and ecosystem builders. Social media content published after each episode extends the reach of the show to audiences beyond the live broadcast, keeps the community engaged between episodes, and helps grow the Foundation's presence across LinkedIn and other platforms. Well-crafted post-show content — including short recap posts and pull quote text — is a core part of how the Foundation builds its audience and communicates its mission.
