What is the vision?
The Anzisha Prize will inspire and support very young Africans with leadership potential to pursue and succeed in entrepreneurship.
We believe that the theory of change will ignite our vision of developing successful entrepreneurial businesses run by young people that employ other young people. Thus, leading to economic development and reduction of youth unemployment in Africa.
Achieving the vision requires time and involvement of many stakeholders across the entrepreneurial ecosystem; achieving the vision requires a movement that grows over time. Key Stakeholders include young people, parents, educators, investors and policymakers.
How will we achieve it?
Our goal is large scale behavior change to enable the #AnzishaScenario.
We will influence:
Very young Africans
with leadership potential to become entrepreneurs.
Parents & Teachers
