The Africa Indigenous Knowledge Research Network (AIKRN) and the Institute of African Studies (IAS) at Carleton University invite you to join the upcoming AIKRN Quarterly Webinar on “Indigenous Health and Wellbeing: Opportunities for Jobs and Entrepreneurship for African Youth.”
Across Africa, Indigenous health systems rooted in traditional medicine, natural healing practices, community care, and spirituality have sustained generations. Today, these systems continue to offer affordable, culturally grounded, and sustainable healthcare solutions—especially in rural areas.
Yet, much of this Indigenous knowledge remains undervalued, under-documented, and disconnected from contemporary entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. With youth unemployment hovering around 12% across the continent, the time is ripe to bridge ancestral wisdom with youth-led innovation and enterprise to build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economies.
This engaging two-hour webinar will convene scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and young entrepreneurs to explore how Indigenous health knowledge can serve as a powerful foundation for innovation, job creation, and sustainable development in Africa.
