Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati says the African Union eTrade programme is a good opportunity for Zambian youths to benefit from. Mr. Mutati notes that Zambia has a pool of skilled youths in innovation and enterprise drawn from all parts of the country who require the much needed help for them to get going.<\/p>\n

The Minister indicated that about 150 youths per province have proven to be innovative, creative and full of ideas but tend to have a limitation to actualize their ideas.<\/p>\n

Mr Mutati was speaking at a press briefing on the sidelines of the 13th AU Private Sector Forum. Mr. Mutati therefore noted that the eTrade is a good programme for the country to cooperate with and address some of the challenges for the start-ups.<\/p>\n

He said that Zambia\u2019s recent engagement with eTrade aims at developing a framework of Cooperation, harvesting on their experience and distribution in Africa to be able to assist with the Zambian start-ups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe start-up ecosystem has many elements, one of which is appropriate for funding and a hand holding process getting youths to understand the commercial component of their business,\u201d Mr. Mutati indicated.<\/p>\n

He re-affirmed government\u2019s commitment to grow various ideas by youths, which can be done through partnerships and collaboration with the private sector, African Union and the business council.<\/p>\n

ETrade Group Chief Executive Officer Mulualem Syoum disclosed that his organisation has signed a strategic Memoranda of Understanding with the AU to implement various initiatives around youth empowerment.<\/p>\n

Mr. Syoum explained that a number of initiatives have been implemented which includes the learning centre for youths as part of early investment and a market place available for all youths to provide their services to the African continent.<\/p>\n

African Business Council president Amany Asfour disclosed that the council has a programme called hunting for Africa\u2019s unicorns that is focusing on the start-ups of youths<\/p>\n

Dr. Asfour said that applications from youth start-ups in various sectors across the continent are welcome to pitch for investors to fund winning ideas.<\/p>\n
