Youth in Indigenous Enterprises in the Informal Sector

The Youth in Indigenous Enterprises in the Informal Sector project is a cross-country comparative study exploring how young people engaged in indigenous enterprises can drive inclusive economic transformation. Supported by the Mastercard Foundation, it focuses on agriculture, textiles, crafts, and cosmetics, with attention to youth entrepreneurship, indigenous business models, gender dynamics, and technological innovation. The study spans Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, led by ISSER in partnership with PSI (Ethiopia), NISER (Nigeria), ISRA-BAME (Senegal), and ICED (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania).
