There is little support for students and entrepreneurs in regions affected by conflict, the climate crisis or displacement. Even when education is available, it is hard, if not impossible, for motivated, talented young people to access the labour market. Spark has 25 years of experience in develops higher education and entrepreneurship for young people in conflict and post-conflict zones, allowing them to develop a cross-sector approach that opens up pathways to employment for potential entrepreneurs.

By uniting the private sector, local government and other key partners, Spark builds enabling environments that allow young people to start and scale up their own businesses. Their success boosts local economies and rebuilds communities.
