Justicia Center for Sustainable Development works with young people, women and communities across Ethiopia to turn ideas into livelihoods that last. This story is part of that work.
What happened
The second cohort of Green Future Africa opened with a welcome event attended by partners from the British Embassy Addis Ababa and the British Council Ethiopia. Twenty enterprises were selected from more than 1,000 applications.
Participants worked through practical sessions on business planning, legal registration, pricing and marketing, then pitched their ideas to a panel of partners and mentors.
“This is the first time someone has taken my idea seriously.”
Why it matters
Ethiopia’s young population is one of its greatest assets. Green enterprises can create jobs while tackling environmental pressures, from soil degradation to invasive species and agricultural waste.
- Practical, market-relevant skills for young entrepreneurs
- Six months of free legal and business advisory support
- Links to partners, buyers and investors
