The keynote speaker congratulated GAIN on the excellent work it’s doing especially with regards to entrepreneurship development and youth employment in Africa.
Executive Director GAIN said the summit is focused on developing entrepreneurship.
The role of Youth entrepreneurship cannot be overstressed in unlocking the economic potential of Africa. This is why Grand Africa
initiative and collaboration with Africa export-import Bank also organised a master class on entrepreneurship and intra-Africa trade.
Executive Director, GAIN Chinwe Okoli said on the average, 11 million young people joined the African labour market every year but the continent is only able to provide 3.7 million jobs annually.
The GAIN-Afreximbank master class was designed to equip 200 young African entrepreneurs who were selected from across Africa with skills to build and scale their businesses across borders
