The programme, targeting vulnerable youth aged 15 to 30, women, and smallholder farmers, aims to transform agriculture into a tool for social change.

With a focus on agritech innovation and community empowerment, the initiative seeks to reduce youth-involved crime by sixfold in selected communities.

Speaking on the launch, Zubara CEO, Promise Chizara, said:

“Agriculture is more than just food; it is empowerment. This institute will help youth escape poverty and violence by turning agribusiness into a sustainable livelihood.”

Through bootcamps, agritech hubs, and cooperative building, the Afri AGRITECH Institute will create over 500 jobs across agriculture and technology sectors, while fostering peace in at-risk communities.
