Across Africa, a new generation of young leaders is rising armed with innovation, resilience, and untapped potential. Initiatives like the Ability Youth Initiative are unlocking this potential, but they cannot do it alone. Through strategic partnerships with organizations like Inkomoko, the European Union’s Global Gateway, and the African Union and more, we’re bridging gaps in education, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. Together, we’re not just investing in youth; we’re investing in a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Here’s how these partners are making it happen.
Inkomoko is unlocking the potential of Africa’s youth by providing entrepreneurship training, mentorship, and access to capital. Through the Ability Youth Initiative, they equip young innovators with the skills and resources to build sustainable businesses turning ideas into impact and fostering economic growth from the ground up
The EU’s Global Gateway is bridging gaps and building futures. By investing in Africa’s youth through initiatives like Ability Youth, they’re creating opportunities in education, digitalization, and green innovation. This partnership ensures young talents have the tools to thrive in a connected, sustainable world.
The African Union champions youth as the continent’s greatest asset. Initiatives like Ability Youth reflect the AU’s commitment to skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship ensuring young Africans are not just participants, but leaders in Agenda 2063’s vision for a thriving, self-reliant Africa.
We believe that lasting impact is built through collaboration. We are always looking to connect with like-minded organizations, institutions, & communities who share our commitment to improve education & employment outcomes amongst youth in Uganda
