THE ENTREPRENEUR PANEL

BUSINESS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

After attending a livelihood and enterprise training workshop with Restless Development

Andrew Kwaga went on to set up a livestock and fishing business so he could support himself

and his family. Andrew also began running a youth group in his community sharing what he

had learnt so that other young people could build upon their aspirations, and succeed like him.

Restless Development is the youth-led development agency. Based in 10 countries, our unique way of working gives young people the skills, resources and opportunities to tackle the main issues facing their communities, and countries, from unemployment and receiving a good education to accessing sexual health and reproduction services.

For many young people, accessing the right training and skills to get them employment ready is crucial in dealing with the issues standing in the way of their own, and their communities, development. From entrepreneur programmes, to employment training and intern schemes, Restless Development’s work in this area is well-established but has great opportunity for growth.

The Entrepreneur Panel is a group of like minded individuals committed to supporting Restless Development’s Livelihoods programme. We believe young people can be entrepreneurs and build successful businesses. They are an asset to businesses and they hold the answer to the unemployment crisis in their country. Support from The Entrepreneur Panel will ensure we can continue to prove this and enable young people to fulfil their potential.

“Restless Development stands out as a particularly innovative and

efficient organisation. It’s a small agency with big impact.

By investing a little I have gained a lot, both in the impact of my donation

and the quality of experience I have had whilst being a part of such a

dynamic organisation. It definitely offers value for money”

skills for employment. We are committed to deliver innovative
