Supporting entrepreneurship in fragile contexts can be unpredictable, but it holds huge potential to help people build businesses and transform their lives. Research is key to uncovering the unique challenges these entrepreneurs face, from navigating risks and crises to social barriers and limited access to resources. That’s why it’s so important to explore how entrepreneurship programmes like Orange Corners can truly empower youth, adapt to sudden shocks and harness new innovations to make a lasting impact in fragile communities.

This study, initiated by Orange Corners in collaboration with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, INCLUDE and the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL), explores the role of youth entrepreneurship in dealing with uncertainty and fragility and offers recommendations for policy makers and entrepreneurial support organisations on how to best cater to their needs.
