Innovation and learning is fragmented and development industry is due for a major disruption

Individual

The future innovation ecosystem needs to put the emphasis on the individual – the human and the human journey need to be the centre piece.

Agency

“Players first” the ecosystem is built for purpose and with youth

Impact

Youth Ageny Marketplace

Due to Self-Sovereign Identity youth are 100% in control of their own data.

… a marketplace of opportunities

Youth Livelihoods

• Youth receive exchangeable token for SDG impact tasks – a first to acquire financial literacy and market knowledge
• Yoma allows youth to tap into the global impact market (i.e. CO2 offset)
• Yoma creates a trust profile through blockchain and a much richer digital CV containing transferable skills and character scores

Open Source

• The matching capability powering the yoma ecosystem will be made available as an open source architecture to enable youth to further develop yoma & the ecosystem.
• The open design and source principles of the yoma ecosystem would allow other similar initiatives to build on it and establish human centered digital ecosystems empowered by SSI and privacy preserving AI focusing on women empowerment, the green economy, migrant communities, etc.

Inclusive Growth

Data and Technology for Good

• Our aim is to be some of the first projects to combine the ToIP stack with privacy-preserving AI capabilities. We aim to develop this as a world first capability to ensure the data privacy of youth is maintained at all times
• We are developing a matching algorithm using psychometric assessment, machine learning and privacy preserving AI

Tackling current and urgent topics

• Yoma is planning to become a franchise model that can be adjusted for different local needs such as climate action, focus on youth on the move or skills development
• Yoma is rolling out first MVPs for “Green YOMA” in Colombia and Malawi together with the African Drone and Data Academy

… a marketplace of opportunities

Grow

The Beginning

• Globally, one out of five young people between the ages of 15-24 live in Africa and are largely underemployed or at worst, unemployed. In most African countries youth are twice as likely to be unemployed than adults (ILO)
• Yoma emerged from a human-centred design process as a solution to the issues that youth identified in workshops across Africa

Partnership

Yoma is an open partnership space between impact funders/investors (Botnar Foundation, BMZ, UNICEF), Governments, the private sector (Goodwall, employers, tech start-ups), youth grassroots organisations and young people themselves.

​

The Progress

• Youth interest proven through various challenges and campaigns reaching > 150,000 youth developing > 10,000 prototype
• Won the Smart Development Hackathon organized by the EU and the German BMZ
• Received seed funding from Botnar Foundation, BMZ and UNICEF
• Yoma was presented at the D4D event, a high level initiative started by the EU & AU to bridge the digital divide

End of 2021

• 1.5M Youth Engagements in yoma-related activities
• 250K Youth Registered in yoma-related Offerings
• 100K Youth Engagements in personalized Learning Opportunities on atingi
