The programme is being implemented in Borno State, Lagos State, Enugu State, Akwa lbom State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja), as part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to equip young Nigerians with practical, market-relevant skills and create pathways to sustainable livelihoods within the emerging circular economy.

The initiative is designed to provide beneficiaries with hands-on training in upcycling, recycling, creative craft and other circular economy-related skills, enabling them to transform waste materials into useful, innovative and environmentally friendly products. The internship component will further provide participants with practical workplace exposure and an opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills in real-world settings.

The programme is powered by ActionAid, in partnership with UpTex, Green Axis, Craftopia, TA&A and The Upcycle Architect.
