Justine Greenland Duke has been working to build capacity, accelerate change, enable learning and drive innovation in large, complex foundations and small, creative organizations for 20 years. She is currently leading the Knowledge Management and Analytics program at the Mastercard Foundation and is working at the intersection of data and information; strategy and measurement; and continuous improvement and evidence-driven decision-making. She lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and two sons.

Since its founding in 2006, the Mastercard Foundation has grown from a small “start-up” with just three employees, to the 3rd largest foundation in the world. Its creation was made possible through the generosity of Mastercard International when it became a public company and contributed a percentage of its assets to create an independently operated and governed foundation bearing the same name.

The Foundation is a funder, a convener, and a catalyst for change in Africa and in its first decade, partnered with more than 130 visionary organizations to increase financial inclusion and access to youth learning, improving the lives of more than 25 million people and their families on the continent.

Building on this work, the Foundation is in the process of implementing a new strategy, Young Africa Works. It is the result of extensive consultation with leaders of African governments, private sector organizations, educational institutions, civil society, and, most importantly, young people themselves. Using youth employment as an indicator of progress, the Foundation will help millions of Africans find a pathway out of poverty for themselves and their families by enabling 30 million young people in Africa to secure employment they see as dignified and fulfilling by 2030.
