The British Council’s Innovation for African Universities programme helps support graduate entrepreneurs in Kenya
There is no shortage of entrepreneurial spirit among young people in Kenya. However, many new enterprises fail in the first three years as young people often don’t have the skills needed for sustaining a successful business beyond the start-up phase.
The British Council’s Innovation for African Universities (IAU) programme is funding the Youth Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme in Kenya, a partnership between The Technical University of Kenya, Kenyatta University, Northumbria University in the UK and the Entrepreneurship Educators Foundation for East Africa, to support young Kenyan entrepreneurs sustain their businesses and help them grow.
