UNDP sent two Young innovators and Leaders to Uganda including Yves Cedric NTSAMA, the Founder of the incubator ECOLIA Labs and Arthur ZANG, the inventor of Cardiopad, as Ambassadors of Youth Connekt Africa for Cameroon. For 4 days, Young Leaders and African Entrepreneurs gathered in Entebbe to join the Youth Connekt Africa movement, an initiative born in Rwanda in 2012 to help young people in this country become true changemakers in their community, create their own job opportunities and positively transform their country.
