Our focus on the youth doesn’t stop at financing youth-owned businesses. We are cognizant of the fact that our youth are change agents, resilience builders and innovators. Hence with the right tools and skills they can surely transform Africa, and the world.
We are actively engaged in empowering young women and men in agribusiness to lead inclusive rural transformation via the Africa Agribusiness Academy’s- FAO- project, which aims to accelerate youth – driven transformation of Africa Food systems.
Represented by our CEO, Mr. Vincent Njuguna Kiarie, we are participating in Business incubations for youth enterprises in the wider Nyanza and Western regions of Kenya (Kisumu and Kakamega).
Through this project we aim to deliver an integrated approach comprising business and market – relevant skills development, enhance youth agripreneurs’ potential to access finance and markets and engage in innovative practices in their enterprises. Furthermore, the project aims at enhancing youth enterprises capacity to advocate for more friendly policies, more specifically, those that boost innovation and investment in the agricultural sector.
We are all hands on deck to see Youth agripreneurs better positioned to access traditional and non-traditional finance and attract investments to scale-up innovative businesses!
