Intensive Agribusiness Training for YEAP beneficiaries

Abstract

The Oyo State Youth Entrepreneurship in Agribusiness Project (YEAP) aims to pursue inclusive agribusiness training by empowering the youths to benefit from emerging opportunities and transformation processes across the agricultural value chain. The youth between the ages of 25-35 years, with at least 30% female, will be provided with the appropriate agribusiness skills, mentorship, and business startup support via training and hands-on demonstrations. By employing an agribusiness incubation and apprenticeship model youths will be trained annually, leverage partnerships with development partners, private sector actors in downstream, midstream, and upstream agribusiness activities. YEAP will produce a pool of well-trained entrepreneurs that respond to market demands within the State and across the sub-Saharan region of Africa, reduced youth unemployment, and enhance livelihoods in Oyo State
