THE PROBLEM

1.2 billion young people will reach working age over the next ten years. In Africa, there will be more of them than in the rest of the world combined.

For hundreds of millions of people, starting a business is not a choice. It is the only option for building a future.

Today on the African continent, 80 to 90 per cent of jobs rely on micro-enterprises, which are often informal.

But without support or social protection, entrepreneurship remains fragile and can trap people in a state of heightened vulnerability to personal, economic and climate-related shocks.

Effectively supported, however, it can become a powerful driver of shared prosperity and resilience.

OUR APPROACH

Trust yourself.
Act together.
Change the system.

We work on three levels – individuals, communities and systems – to build more inclusive economies.
