Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship & Skills Development Program

Equipping youth with business, innovation and employability skills.

Program overview

The true hurdle for Africa’s youth is not just a lack of employment — it is a crisis of mindset where exceptional talents are disconnected from the continent’s needs. This program equips young people with practical skills, an entrepreneurial mindset and opportunities to create sustainable livelihoods and contribute to economic growth.

It delivers our strategic pillar of Innovation & Entrepreneurship for 2025–2030.
