Youth-Led Green Technology Innovation: Unlocking Africa’s Triple Challenge

The webinar will:

- Open with a launch declaration by Dr. Eunice Muthengi, Director, Evidence and Learning Insights, Mastercard Foundation.
- Present findings from all three country studies.
- Convene a panel discussion on cross-country lessons for youth-inclusive green economies.

Africa's youth are leading and building sustainable businesses, driving the continent's green technology adoption in transportation, energy and agriculture. Yet the policies, financing and skills systems surrounding these sectors have not kept pace with the role youth are already playing in them. Youth-led green startups remain poorly financed, climate and youth employment policies rarely connect, and young entrepreneurs have almost no seat at the tables where the decisions that govern their sectors are made.

To understand what it would take to change that, APRI, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, conducted three country studies in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana — the first systematic, cross-country evidence base on green jobs for African youth, covering policy coherence, financing, skills, gender dynamics and Indigenous knowledge.

We warmly invite you to join us for the launch.
