Youth Entrepreneurship & Employment Program for Africa (YEEPA) Network
Builds a platform for youth in Africa to exchange ideas, develop partnerships, strengthen their capacity for effective change, and contribute to program development, advocacy, and policy initiatives.
THRIVE AFRICA NETWORK
The THRIVE AFRICA NETWORK is USAFI’s continental platform for advancing youth and women’s empowerment, community resilience, and locally led sustainable development across Africa.
It brings together a growing constellation of country‑based and region‑based THRIVE Initiatives—such as THRIVE Uganda—that share a common framework for leadership development, enterprise incubation, regenerative livelihoods, and community transformation. Each THRIVE Initiative is locally anchored and independently led, in partnership with USAFI and some of its key partners, while the Network provides:
-
Shared learning and knowledge exchange
-
Technical support and capacity strengthening
-
Diaspora and academic engagements as well as global partnerships
-
A unified narrative and impact framework with dashboards to help with monitoring and evaluation
-
A platform for undertaking steps to expand, deepen, or scale proven models across regions
Together, the THRIVE AFRICA NETWORK cultivates a collaborative ecosystem where communities design their own solutions, youth and women lead change, and African-led innovation drives sustainable development across the continent.
