GEN in Mozambique

GEN began working in Mozambique in 2010 when it partnered with Empresa Junior to launch the country’s inaugural GEW campaign. The campaign grew into an annual November fixture, drawing national institutions into its programming. As the campaign matured, GEN's coalition grew: IdeiaLab coordinated GEW events throughout the country and the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) developed the National Entrepreneurship Conference into a centerpiece GEW event. A national entrepreneurship fair gives founders a platform to exchange ideas and connect with markets. A consistent thread through GEN’s work in Mozambique is youth entrepreneurship, reflecting its partners' focus on moving young Mozambicans from informal activity into registered, growth-oriented businesses. GEN reaches well beyond Maputo, engaging schools, communities, districts, and provinces across the country. Its goal is to foster the transition to formal, growth-oriented enterprises, strengthening the ties between local founders and regional or global markets, and connecting the country's entrepreneurs with the knowledge, networks, capital, and policy support they need to scale.
