The Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) called out for the youth, especially those who are enrolled in tertiary education to participate in last year’s CEDA/DBSA University challenge. The Challenge was a collaborative effort of CEDA and the Development Bank of Southern Africa and delivered as a youth innovative solutions competition. Since its inception three years ago, the Challenge continues to grow from strength to strength.
