Liberia’s LiYEPA gives young entrepreneurs a route to build

LiYEPA was introduced in Liberia in 2026 as a youth-enterprise initiative intended to support entrepreneurs developing products, services and viable small businesses. The programme combines entrepreneurship support with access to local innovation infrastructure.

UNDP Liberia, iCampus and UniPod are among the programme’s partners.

New companies need guidance, networks and working spaces as well as ideas. Initiatives like LiYEPA can help young founders turn early concepts into services for paying customers, including digital and creative work.

The programme sits within Liberia’s growing set of entrepreneurship and innovation support services.
