We work to help young people discover their potential, skills and talents and monetize them in a very strategic way. In 2018, the Zambia Institute of Public Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR) conducted an evaluation to assess the failure of the youth development fund by government. The report alluded that there was a lack of complementary support services to enhance the potential for business su
rvival. In this regard the fund did not have the capacity and complementary services such as proper entrepreneurship training with adequate modules on various aspects of business planning and management to empower youths especially those engaging in business for the first time. It is against this backdrop that Zambian Association of Emerging Enterprises (ZAEE) was formed. Our goal is to support Small and Medium Enterprises and those emerging with consultancy services. These services range from helping; SMEs to form cooperatives, access grants, technical support, formalizing business operations, human resource support, acting as the bridge between SMEs and the government and stakeholders that support the agenda. Turning ideas into working business ventures and collaborating with angel investors, venture capitalists and government to help entrepreneurs scale up their business.
