Dar es Salaam. Over 150 young Tanzanian entrepreneurs are set to benefit from a forum run by Scale Forum under the theme “Youth Entrepreneurship for Social Impact”. The forum, scheduled to be held tomorrow at Bun Hub in the city, shall focus on supporting youth entrepreneurship in East Africa.

All this is possible thanks to the Aga Khan University and the Aga Khan Foundation’s East Africa Civil Society Initiative (CSI).

The forum results from research findings by the East African Institute of the Aga Khan University on youth values, attitudes, concerns and aspirations in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania in 2016.
