Addressing harmful practices through social innovation: A UNFPA innovation guide for "you" and startups

Innovators in Africa face great challenges, including a lack of investment and requisite skills, limited entrepreneurship support, poor market access, and a relatively young innovation support system. Regardless, there is a significant potential for growth and scale exhibited by young people leading change in their ways. This social innovation toolkit provides valuable resources for young people, especially adolescents and girls, to develop their innovative ideas and accelerate collective efforts to end harmful practices like FGM and child marriage. The interactive, self-help toolkit provides practical guidance and connection to social enterprise growth support within and outside Africa.
