Project Description
Capacity Building for Internally displaced Youth to Promote Entrepreneurship & Community development
With more than half of the population under the age of 20, access to the job market remains highly competitive, especially in entrepreneurship, which involves a multitude of national and international actors with substantial financial resources. This poses a challenge for young people trying to venture into entrepreneurship by navigating socio-economic and institutional parameters to make their initiatives sustainable.
