 STAKE HOLDERS AND BENEFICIARIES
We are Non-Profit Organizations so our main stake holders are people who are directly involved, such as board
members, our donors, media, the community, volunteers as well as our partners.

Beneficiaries
i. Unemployed youth including drop out school; One of the ways to get young people into
the labour market is through youth entrepreneurship, because they are more innovative, they
have more time, energy and dynamism. Youth also are ready to take risks while not having a
lot risk, and they tend to have fewer family or financial responsibilities.
ii. Students who are taking technical education in technical schools (Vocational schools)
example Ifunda Technical school and Iyunga Technical School. All students in these
institution they will enjoy this project because in their subjects there is no commercial
studies.
iii. All students in public and private schools who do not have commercial subjects such as
commerce, economics and accountancy. Most of secondary schools in this country failed to
provide commercial subjects due to lack of teachers who specialized in these subject.
This problem create poverty at young age because of large unemployment problem after
school lack confidence in entrepreneurship activities. Entrepreneurship education helps
students develop a range of skills and competencies that are valuable in both their personal
and professional lives. It teach them how to think creatively and critically how to identify
and solve problems and how to take calculated risks.
iv. Youth who participating in commercial agricultural activities.
v. Youth who self-employed in different entrepreneurship activities.
vi. All graduates employed but they need much information concerning entrepreneurships
opportunities available in their environment.

take business studies they will be training on how to start business and produce really
products such as making toilet soap, milk products, making charcoal by using saw dust, rice
hust, etc.
viii. Communities in a selected area will benefits much from the projects because the massage
will be sent to their mobile phone explaining the available business opportunities available
in the region, and the process of sending messages will continue until the project end, this
will be the benefit to community for the long run.
As the part of the training, the project will orient beneficiaries in the start –up / expansion process,
in particular by preparing those to apply to local microfinance institutions and existing grant

 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
According to population census of 2022 the Southern Highlands Zone of Tanzania, in the region of Mbeya,
Iringa, Njombe and Songwe, Ruvuma and Rukwa, have a population of 9,160,428 which most of them are
young people ranging from the age of 18-36 years old. This large group of youth in these areas are still
economically poor regardless of the digital economy of the world in this century. This poverty is caused by
lack of entrepreneurship skills and employment opportunities, youth failed to employ themselves while the
government employ few of them especially those graduates from Universities. By comparing the data (from
the Ministry of Education and from the National Examination Counsel of Tanzania – NECTA
https://www.necta.go.tz ) you can observe those who failed their examination are large in number compared
to those who passed well especially in their Ordinary Level of Education (form 4). Those who failed to join
Advanced Education Level (form five and six) they lack qualification of having opportunities of being
admitted to universities and have a chance of being employed by the government. So due to their large in
number, lack of both formal and informal education facilities, lack of employment including self-
employment, unavailable stable source of livelihood and poor awareness of entrepreneurship information
course this group of large population to remain with poverty for the long run.

This project is designed to help youth to fulfil their entrepreneurship aspirations by developing their skills
and knowledge by launching interventions like coaching and mentoring on how to have access to finance
and market, the project will help those unemployed and employed young people to identify the best available
resources and highly demanded opportunities in their surrounding environment.

The project is designed to empower youth business owners with digital skills, knowledge, mentorship and
community events to transform their business and drive economic growth. Through this partnership we aim
to reach hundreds of youth entrepreneurs across the region, providing them with the necessary training and
support to overcome business challenges, grow their ventures and drive economic growth through the
following strategies;
i. The target of this project will be reached by coaching youth on how to prepare really products like
candles, saw dust charcoal , rice husk charcoal making, soap etc.
ii. The target of the project will be reached by using different strategies like sending messages to youth
or to the community through their mobile phone concerning the opportunities and economic resources
which are available in the selected areas. This method is mostly cheap because it does not need online
services like internet.
iii. Sending videos through Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and What-sup groups which most of them
are used by youth showing them business opportunities available in the regions.
iv. Attaching pictures on open spaces like on big stones, on roads side, on street walls, on road junctions,
nearly market and schools /colleges displaying the resources, business opportunities available in the
area, example; If the land is fertile the picture will show what crops is good in that area, or if the
area have products which are sold cheaply but you can sell it at highly price in another area like
wood in Njombe town, Mafinga town, and Makambako center which is sold cheaply, and highly
demanded in another regions in Tanzania and East Africa at all.
v. The project also is designed to run seminars and projecting videos of the available opportunities
especially in town and villages, in schools and colleges, showing the youth how to develop really products
ready for market examples making candles, making toilet soap, producing milk products etc.
 The project will be conducted within two (2) years, under seven (7) phases, in the

RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

There are a number of risks or potential barriers to a successful delivery of entrepreneurship support, in
partnership with specialist agencies, which we must keep in mind in the process of delivering
entrepreneurship skills and labour market for youth.
The risk includes;

 If partners are not chosen carefully

 If partners do not share the same values and interests, if agreeing on common goals could be
difficult.
 There is no sharing of risk, responsibility, accountability or benefits.
 There is a power imbalance and one partner drives the process
 Partnership members do not have the training to identify issues or resolve internal conflicts
 The inequalities in partner’s resources and expertise affect their relative influence in decision
making.
 Market barriers, including a bias in financial markets away from supporting youth owned business
and discrimination in product market.
 Fewer financial resources and difficulty obtaining external finance, including debt finance hampers
business start-up.
 Limited business networks and business – related social capital have consequences for business
start –up and obtaining legitimacy

Measures;
In order to avoid the above risks we must identifying appropriate delivering channels for youth by
selecting partners with a range of public, private and voluntary sector organization that have
experience working with youth example business associations.
