The Youth Empowerment Center organized the EU Youth Group Grants Selection and Market Linkage Event, bringing together young entrepreneurs with representatives from NGOs, government institutions, the private sector, and supporting organizations to strengthen networking, foster partnerships, and connect youth-led businesses with market opportunities.

During the event, participating organizations showcased their programs, services, and opportunities for entrepreneurs, presenting a wide range of support, including funding, business development, advisory services, and partnership opportunities. This provided participants with access to a broader ecosystem that supports the growth and long-term sustainability of their businesses.

The event concluded with the announcement of the youth groups selected to receive EU Youth grants, marking the beginning of the program's next phase. The selected teams will participate in specialized training and capacity-building activities designed to strengthen their readiness to launch or further develop their businesses and maximize the opportunities available to them.

This activity is implemented under the EU Youth Program through the Youth Empowerment Center, implemented by Medalah Foundation, in partnership with Oxfam in Yemen, and funded by the European Union in Yemen.
