Free 12-Week Hybrid Digital Training in Agribusiness and Climate-Smart Skills – Agrisiti & TAGDev 2.0 Program for Young Africans

Agrisiti, in partnership with TAGDev 2.0 PROGRAM 2.0, RUFORUM, and the Mastercard Foundation, is offering a Free 12-Week Hybrid Digital Training in Agribusiness and Climate-Smart Skills. This program is designed to equip young Africans with practical agribusiness knowledge, climate-smart agriculture skills, and enterprise development guidance, enabling participants to secure income, create value, and build sustainable careers.
Africa’s rapidly growing population presents both challenges and opportunities for young people. The continent’s population is projected to double by 2050, while more than 250 million Africans already face food insecurity. At the same time, job opportunities are dwindling. In Nigeria alone, over 8.6 million young people are unemployed, leaving many seeking practical and sustainable skills that can ensure self-reliance and long-term growth.
