Challenges & Solutions

Addressing three core challenges through three strategic pillars

We tackle critical gaps in Africa’s primary healthcare workforce and systems with integrated, youth-focused solutions.

🧩

Skills Mismatch

Youth are often trained in fields that
do not align with market needs, limiting their job readiness and practical workforce fit.

↓

Health Employment (HEMP)

Opportunities through skilling, work readiness, job linkage, and policy actions .

👥

💼

Youth Unemployment

Entrepreneurship in health remains underdeveloped and underfunded, leaving fewer dignified pathways to sustainable employment.

↓

Health Entrepreneurship (HENT)

Cultivates entrepreneurial culture within PHC through incubation, financing, SME support, and innovation-focused
interventions.

🚀

🏛️

Weak Health Ecosystems

PHC policy, governance, and
financing structures do not yet sufficiently enable innovation and private sector growth.

↓

Health Ecosystem (HECO)

Strengthens policy, governance, and financial support systems so PHC matures as a viable economic
focus in the health sector.
