AYEI stands for African Youth Employment Initiatives. AYEI is a youth-led organization founded to mobilize, organize and empower the youth of Africa to embark on agricultural activities and promote farming as a form of employment and as revenue-generating activities to end poverty among the youth while participating in the fight against hunger. 

AYEI intends to build a solid and united organization to support young emerging agri-entrepreneurs to create employment in agriculture, eradicate hunger and participate in the economic development of their countries. AYEI is to advocate for mindset change among the youth in regards to farming and make it attractive, rewarding and creative for their good and the good of the continent. AYEI is to create an avenue of technology and knowledge transfer in the sphere of farming where the youth share experiences, benefits and risks

Partners have many roles to play depending on their services. They may partner to offer technical, administrative or financial support to the organization’s activities. They can partner in the promotion of the organization or in offering all kinds of services ranging from capacity building of members, helping the organization to achieve its objectives as agreed between the organization and its cherished partners by signing the Memorandum of understanding.

AYEI aspires to form a strong wide network of emerging agri-entrepreneurs on the continent that will help nations to do away with youth unemployment. It is the organization’s view that this can eventually solve many other societal issues such as illegal migration, security issues (armed robbery), juvenile delinquency and more societal vices caused by poverty among the young people. AYEI envision food security in Africa.
