Youth/Women-led Enterprise Support: DDI, through the support of USADF, also facilitates support for youth entrepreneurs in Nigeria, providing them with grant funding to launch and expand their businesses. These businessmen and women are working across sectors – from health and education to IT and agribusiness – selling goods and services, creating jobs, training youth, and increasing incomes.
