Eyouth and EDT&Partners Launch $6M Initiative to Empower 1 Million Youth in MENA with Digital Skills

Egyptian skills development startup Eyouth has announced a significant partnership with global education consultancy EDT&Partners, launching a $6 million initiative to equip one million young people across Africa and the Middle East with essential digital skills.
This collaboration, set to commence in February 2025, focuses on training individuals aged 15 to 35 in critical areas such as artificial intelligence, programming, data analysis, digital marketing, and modern pedagogy.
Founded in 2016 and transitioning to an online platform in 2018, Eyouth has developed its training courses designed to help young individuals enhance their careers and acquire necessary skills for the job market.
The partnership with EDT&Partners combines Eyouth’s established expertise in skills development with EDT’s innovative educational technologies.
The program will leverage advanced digital tools and strategic educational frameworks to address the growing digital skills gap in the MENA region, where only 1.7% of the workforce is classified as “digital talent”.
The initiative was unveiled at Bett 2025, a leading education technology event, highlighting the transformative potential of technology in education.
Mostafa Abdel Latif, co-founder and CEO of Eyouth, expressed his commitment to empowering youth:
“To date, we have developed the skills of over three million young people. Through this partnership, we aim to accelerate and empower an additional one million youth to unlock their potential and drive innovation across Africa and the Middle East”
The program will also support qualified educators in the region by providing financial assistance and access to an advanced learning platform that offers interactive training in both English and Arabic.
This initiative is expected to significantly impact educational opportunities within the MENA region, aiming to bridge the gap between current educational systems and the skill demands of the job market.
