The Challenge

Many individuals and groups launch hubs to enable young people, who are at high risk for unemployment, to build businesses and learn skills that are relevant in today’s global economy.

Lack of requisite training and management skills by hub managers, among many other capacity gaps, hinders both the ability of the hubs to deliver to their target demographic and the impact of support organizations work and investments in the ecosystem.

The Solution

Over the years, AfriLabs has carried out research on hub needs, capacity gaps and best practices. Based on these research, AfriLabs has designed and runs a series of initiatives targeting hubs. These initiatives will now be expanded and updated with support from the French Development Agency AFD. The new expanded program will include a new certification course in partnership with a major African academic institution, useful toolkits, a hub residential program, hub capacity building grants etc.

Our Projected Impact

We aim to achieve the following. .

hub managers and/or staff certified

grants to AfriLabs member hubs annually
