Multinational - Creating Sustainable Youth MSMEs Through Urban Farming – Technical Assistance Request

The goal of the Creating Sustainable Youth MSMEs Through Urban Farming project is to create jobs and provide incomes for African youth who are attracted to urban agriculture but are not able to get jobs, capital, or credit to establish or operate their agribusinesses. They are often discriminated against due to lack of collateral. The project will address unemployed youth and those youth in early start-up stage who have not gained traction due to limited skills and financial resources. The project will offer them the opportunity to accelerate their businesses.
