Youth consulted in 5 African countries felt lost in navigating their learning to earning journey and expressed frustration that access to opportunities is very uneven across the continent. Thus the Youth Agency Market place, Yoma, was born putting youth back in control and at the center. Yoma makes opportunities provided by various partners more evenly accessible and helps to weave them together into individual growth journeys.

Yoma has impacted my life and the life of my relatives both educationally and financially. I have been rewarded with ZLTO that I am using to do my daily activities such as going to school and helping others.

As a global public-private-youth partnership, Generation Unlimited is excited to have co-created Yoma with UNICEF, GIZ, and others. Yoma is an ecosystem platform—a concept that originated from youth themselves. Youth are at the core of Yoma, leading and collaborating for action and impact on key social issues that affect their access to opportunities. We strongly believe in the power of youth as change-makers and feel that Yoma has the potential to drive that change at speed, scale, and impact for this next generation of youth.

Yoma has impacted my life by equipping me with life skills and training for the future ahead. It provided a platform where I could take courses for free and still earn ZLTO for studying.

Yoma has really impacted my life because it gives me the opportunity to make the best version of myself. After using the Yoma platform, I turned from an entry level job seeker to a professional because of my certifications acquired on Yoma. I always stand out to other candidates in job applications.
