At the Vanguard Economics Foundation, we believe that East Africa’s youth are the cornerstone of the continent’s future.
Despite their immense potential, many young people face barriers to accessing the networks, mentorship, and resources they need to thrive. We are here to break down these barriers and create a pathway for youth-led solutions to drive collective growth, innovation, and resilience.
We drive thought leadership in inclusive youth employment by fostering innovation, advocating for equitable opportunities, and collaborating with key stakeholders. Through research, policy engagement, and strategic initiatives, we aim to create a supportive environment where diverse young individuals can access meaningful jobs, develop skills, and contribute to economic growth.
We are fostering a sustainable community of youth entrepreneurs by providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities for collaboration. Through innovation, skill development, and strategic support, we empower young leaders to build successful ventures and drive long-term economic growth.
With youth unemployment remaining a pressing concern around the continent, addressing this challenge is central to our economic future. Your contribution can provide crucial resources, mentorship, and training to empower the next generation of leaders.
