Background

Access Agriculture is currently running Young Entrepreneur Challenge Fund (YECF) in different African countries to select Entrepreneurs for Rural Access (ERAs) who are individuals or small teams that can use a smart projector to develop or expand their own businesses. Young people at or below 30 years residing in that particular country can propose innovative ideas to make a business or incorporate the use of smart projector in their existing services, around the dissemination of agricultural videos. Through this grant, the most inspiring and promising young entrepreneur will receive a Digisoft smart projector in addition to entrepreneurship coaching, training, business linkage and advisory services from different experts on developing a sustainable enterprise.  This call for ERAs is part of Knowledge Centres for Organic Agriculture (KCOA) Project in Africa funded by GIZ.
