About Youth Agripreneurship Apprenticeship Program 2023
This project is directed toward realizing IFAD’s vision in empowering African youth through the establishment of a network of youth-centered Agribusiness Hubs in Nigeria.
These Hubs are intended to be transformational and integrate agricultural production and processing at two levels, one through imparting skill sets among employment track youth (70% of trainees), and another to equip and backstop young entrepreneurs (30% of trainees).
Program Details
Furthermore, Integrated Agribusiness Hubs offer more than capacity-building, training, and mentoring services. The pilot enterprises test and refine modernizing agricultural technologies, and demonstrate them to the wider agricultural community in a manner that allows advisory services to grow around them.
As the Agribusiness Hubs grow in number and sophistication they form mutually beneficial networks, including in the areas technology transfer, market intelligence, digital agriculture and policy advocacy.
To encourage youth interest in agriculture, the IFAD’s Agrihub project in partnership with the BIC Farms Concepts is providing a solid curriculum on Soilless vegetable farming for youth (male and female).
The programme includes classroom teaching, practical learning in the field, and internships. Through the training, the selected beneficiaries gain insights into starting businesses or taking up employment in the agricultural industry.
