Entrepreneurship Promotion Program (Start-up Center)

active

Every year, between 800,000 and 1,000,000 young Kenyans enter the job market, but only a very small proportion of these can be absorbed by the formal job market. As a result, only a few young Kenyans find employment directly. The purpose of the project is to create jobs through self-employment, permanent employment, support in founding a start-up or the promotion of a young company. This is intended to help improve the employability of skilled workers in Kenya. The incubator is intended to connect Kenyan young people, young self-employed people, start-ups and young growing companies with services via vouchers in order to create additional employment. Key measures to achieve the goal are the provision of vouchers for services that young companies need, advice for start-ups on service offers, and the establishment of a one-stop shop for founders. The project partner is the Kenyan Ministry for Co-operatives and MSME and Development. The target group is primarily young Kenyans who have completed their education and want to start their professional lives. The project will initially be launched in Nairobi and will have a nationwide impact.
