- Eligibility
- Groups must be based in Africa and African-led, in a country on the African Union list; single-country or multi-country initiatives both qualify. Unregistered groups are eligible if a registered fiscal sponsor administers the funds. University eligibility is not addressed in the FAQ, so an academic applicant should assume the movement-group framing applies. Karibu's Board formally approves what the Core Group decides, for legal purposes only.
