A new agreement brings green entrepreneurship training to students in the Afar Region.

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 partnership will bring Green Future Africa outreach sessions to Samara University, reaching students who want to start environmentally responsible businesses.

Participants worked through practical sessions on business planning, legal registration, pricing and marketing, then pitched their ideas to a panel of partners and mentors.

“Our students have the ideas. Now they have the support.”
— Programme participant

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
