Anzisha Prize launches a free-to-use digital one-stop shop resource library for African entrepreneurs
The Anzisha Prize announced on Monday the launch of a new online digital resource library targeted at accelerating entrepreneurship education across Africa. Anzisha.org’s library is a free one-stop shop for all entrepreneurial curriculum development tools and publications.
The library is a comprehensive source of content curated for parents, investors, and educators, and is powered by experiences learned throughout the previous decade of the Anzisha Prize’s existence and its execution of programs to boost entrepreneurial success among very young entrepreneurs.
“The long-term vision for Anzisha.org is to provide a collection of objectively excellent resources that anyone can use to enrich their own entrepreneurship journeys or educational programmes,” explained Josh Adler, Chief Programs Officer at African Leadership Academy.
Users can gain access to e-books, research, articles, video, audio, magazines, and newsletters that provide insights and best practices that are regularly updated to the platform.
“For example, case studies and films can help teachers enrich lesson plans or project assignments.” Similarly, young entrepreneurs can use the assets for professional development, while youth entrepreneurship program managers can use the assets to demonstrate to donors why their programs merit funding through evidence and statistics,” Adler noted.
Furthermore, the resource hub gives young entrepreneurs access to unique insights from expert communities, the content of which strives to inspire and support those among them with leadership potential to pursue and succeed in business.
The Anzisha Prize Theory of Change informs the development of the library, which is centered on the goal of encouraging young people to pursue entrepreneurship as a vocation in order to lead the African continent towards a better future.
“Aside from this goal, the Anzisha Prize hopes to change the way African parents, teachers, and communities in general think about entrepreneurship.” “We want to show young people that entrepreneurship is a viable career path for them while also creating an environment conducive to successful entrepreneurship,” Adler explained.
In the little more than a decade since its inception, the Anzisha Prize has worked with parents, educators, investors, and legislators to boost young people’s prospects of entrepreneurship success. To that purpose, the organization creates, tests, and disseminates best practices in young entrepreneurship, while also building on learnings and actionable insights that demonstrate that entrepreneurship can alleviate high unemployment.
These lessons are now available to everyone through the Anzisha Prize Digital Library. You only need to register once on Anzisha.org to access and download the resources and tools anytime you need them.
