On TEFConnect, the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s digital platform, all waste management start-ups in Kenya as well as green start-ups in Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa can now submit applications for BeGreen Africa.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation, UNICEF Generation Unlimited (GenU), IKEA Foundation, and young green entrepreneurs jointly developed the green entrepreneurship pilot program known as BeGreen Africa.
This mission-aligned partnership’s primary goal is to establish a comprehensive, long-lasting, and youth-led green entrepreneurship initiative in the waste sector (in Kenya) and the green sector (in Nigeria, Morocco, Senegal, and South Africa), in order to advance marginalized youth’s social and economic prosperity and address the triple planetary crisis by reducing inequalities and establishing sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their peers.
Requirements
In this pilot program, #BeGreenAfrica hopes to teach 1,000 Kenyan youth in the field of waste management and give 120 of them access to the economy, as well as give 25 green sector entrepreneurs in Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa, all of whom are under 35, the opportunity to start or expand green firms in their respective countries.
The project will gather data on young people starting businesses in high-impact green industries and investigate how they can support circular economies and a long-lasting green revolution in Africa.
