Marcus talks to Sharmi Surianarain who is the Chief Impact Officer at Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator. The Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a not for profit social enterprise that's building African solutions for the global challenge of youth unemployment. She leads research, knowledge, and insights, focusing on the impact of Harambee’s capabilities to change the system and contribute to solutions for the African continent.
The focus is International Women's Day, 8th March. We look at the systems change grant from Co-Impact which has been incredibly valuable as a thought partner in deepening their approach to understanding gender issues. Harambee always has had a skew towards a female network. We've over the years built a network that's 64% female. It has made us a lot more intentional about the barriers that young women face. And these are many.
