Give back: empowering youth through YEEAP
YEEAP, the Youth Empowerment and Economic Accelerator Platform, works to connect education, skills and employers for young people in Ethiopia and across Africa.
About YEEAP
YEEAP says its mission is to empower youth across Ethiopia and Africa with skills, connections and resources for dignified work and lasting prosperity. It is a separate initiative with its own website and application portal.
FUSE, InnoLearn Systems and Placid are named as partners on the YEEAP website. For Placid and FUSE-IPS, taking part in YEEAP is a way to give back: sharing training, technology and professional networks with young people who have limited access to them.
