DETAILS
While Africa’s economic growth is on a positive trajectory, the continent continues to be in dire need of promoting an inclusive economic transformation and jobs-induced growth which harnesses its rapidly growing youth population that is projected to surpass 800 million by 2050.
It is in line with this pressing issue across the continent that Appletree, the leading provider of online payment technology, embarked on its TOMATO (Take One Million African Traders Online) movement that is tailored to create opportunities for young people across Africa, equipping them with all the tools they need to create, innovate and monetise the internet and disrupt the continent’s e-commerce ecosystem. The movement is an Appletree Digital Commerce Private Limited Corporate Social Responsibility initiative that has been established to create opportunities for young people across Africa. The movement aims to see at least one million African youth and SME’s being provided with tools to enable them to harness the power of e-commerce in the rapidly evolving global digital economy.
