- Abstract
- This article, published on December 16, 2024, discusses the Zelela11 conference, held in Addis Ababa in October. This conference gathered young innovators and stakeholders to discuss integrating youth-driven solutions into Ethiopia’s economy. Organized by the Ethiopian Youth Entrepreneurs Association (EYEA) in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, the event emphasized moving from isolated projects to integrated and sustainable youth-driven programs. EYEA launched its 2027 Strategy, providing a framework for institutions to adapt to the evolving needs of young people. A key partnership was announced with Telebirr, Ethiotelecom's platform, which will allow young entrepreneurs to register as members and fundraise. The Mastercard Foundation stressed that when young people take the lead, they create innovative solutions that support long-term economic growth and job opportunities, urging stakeholders to integrate these solutions into institutional systems immediately.
