Budding youth-led enterprises often find it challenging to raise capital. In many cases, such enterprises begin with personal savings or financial support from families and acquaintances, which may not sufficiently cater to the business plan. In other cases, the youth may form a cluster and combine their financial strengths to build the enterprise.
To bridge this gap, the youth compact of Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT), ENABLE-TAAT, has established a relationship with Equity Bank to support new and growing enterprises of beneficiary youth in the entire East Africa region. ENABLE-TAAT is one of the 15 compacts of the African Development Bank (AfDB)-funded TAAT.
