Youth Economic Opportunity

In the 2022 Annual Report, we brought you the stories of four individuals whose lives have improved. Here’s a deeper look into how their stories became possible. 

While the struggles and challenges for millions of people around the world are very real, so is the reason to hope. 

Here are some of the most memorable photos that we shared in 2022 through our photo series.

Here are some of the highlights from TechnoServe’s work this past year.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, an entrepreneur's business in Nigeria was destroyed. Here's how he revived his dream and found success.

Determined to support her family, Dossi Degui turned to TechnoServe for better business skills. Now she sells her artisanal soap around the country--and can't keep up with demand.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a sudden halt to a career program for low-income college students in India. Quick thinking by the TechnoServe team took the program digital when students needed it most. The results? More than 1,000 students have found new jobs despite the ongoing crisis in India.

In Mozambique, many students graduate without the necessary soft skills to succeed in jobs or as entrepreneurs, leaving them with limited economic opportunities. TechnoServe’s WIN program worked with the Mozambican government to revise a life skills curriculum that will help young people — and women in particular — access jobs and start their own businesses.

Earlier this year, violent insurgents attacked the city of Palma in northern Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique. They killed dozens of people, forced thousands to flee, and sparked a humanitarian crisis that continues to this day. There is a perceived link between poverty — particularly among youth — and insecurity. TechnoServe is addressing this challenge by promoting economic opportunities for youth in the region.
